Marsona TSC-330 White Noise Travel Sound Conditioner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I travel a lot, and used to often have trouble in my hotel room.First, I'm used to the sound of my house (the a/c, my wife, baby monitor hum, etc).Second, hotel A/C kicking on and off can be loud, people in the hall are loud, city noises, etc.Most white noise generators that make nature sounds fail miserably for a few reasons.First, they use cheap tinny speakers with too much treble.You can easily pinpoint the source of the sounds and it gets annoying.Second (and most important), they use 6 second clips of nature (1 ocean wave, a few raindrops), and then loop it over and over.When you wish to focus on the white noise to sleep, you WILL hear the loop and it WILL drive you crazy.I can tell it's the same ocean wave over and over... I can hear the spot where the loop starts over.

The Marsona white noise generator is different.First, the speaker is really quite good.Nice base quality, and it really fills the room with sound in a non-directional way (I can't tell exactly where it's coming from).Second, the eletronics actually synthesize the rain/surf sound dynamically, as opposed to using a recording.This means no obvious loop point, and each wave sounds slightly different enough to prevent distraction.I couldn't believe I was spending more than $50 for a white noise generator when you can buy boxes that make dozens of different sounds for far less.However, how many sounds do you need other than the one that makes you fall asleep (and stay asleep)?This box produces 1 sound, with a pitch control and a treble/bass control (calling it rain, waterfall, surf--all depends on these controls), and it works tremendously.I cannot recommend it enough.I imagine their larger units must even be better, but for travel, this is great.
