Sound Machine Homedics Sound Machines

We sell a wide variety of Sound Machines so we will start out trying to provide some information for you to get a feel for how the various Sound Machine models compare. What is a Sound Machine? What features are important? First, I divide sound machines into two categories: Sound Generators and Sound Players. A sound generator produces or generates it own sound either electronically or mechanically. A sound player plays a snipet of recorded sound over and over in a fashion so as to sound like a continuous sound. Examples of Sound Machines that generate their own sound include the Marpac Sleepmate 980A Sound Machine and the Marpac TSC-330 Sound Generator. Both of these Marpac sound machines are Made in the USA and generate a true white noise sound.

Do you sleep better with the sound of a fan in the background? If so, the Sleepmate 980A would be your best choice in a sound machine since it generates its sound mechanically like a fan, and has a fan-like sound that many people find effective and unobtrusive. The TSC-330 Sound Generator, on the other hand, generates its sound electronically and its sound resembles a rain-like white noise which can be modified to sound like a waterfall and then modified again to sound like ocean surf. The Sound Player category of Sound Machine includes almost all the rest of electronic sound machines. There are so many of this variety of Sound Machine that I will restrict the discussion only to those sound machine models that I think possess qualities that set them apart.

Comparison of some important models of Sound Machines include the Sound Oasis machines, the Marpac sleep aids and the Homedics Sound Machines. The USA Made Marpac White Noise Sound Machines generally produce a slightly cleaner, higher quality sound than most other units but they also cost more.

Although they are made in China, the Sound Oasis units provide a lot of features with good quality sounds and a modest price, in sum they represent a good value. Our response from customers on the Sound Oasis sound machines has been mostly positive with relatively few problems reported.

The Homedics Sound Machines offer a lot of features for a low price but suffer some on their quality of sound. There have been a few quality issues with the Homedic Sound Machines whereas the Marpac sound machines are made in the U.S.A. and have proven to be of better quality.

Homedics SS-2000E Sound Machine

The Homedics SS-2000E Sound Machine produces 6 different sounds (summer night, ocean waves, rain, waterfall, rainforest and heartbeat). This sound machine is compact and has an AC adapter but will also run on batteries making it portable. The SS-2000E has become a popular model due to its low price, good package of features and decent performance.

Homedics SS-4500 Sound Machine

The Homedics SS-4500 Sound Machine has six sounds (ocean, summer night, rain, rainforest, thunder and waterfall) along with an AM FM clock radio. This sound machine allows you to wake up to your choice of your nature sound selection, an AM or FM radio station or the built in alarm.
