SNOOZ, A Portable App-Enabled White Noise Machine That Generates Sound From a Rotating Fan
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#M62H)
SNOOZ is a lightweight, portable white noise machine that uses a covered rotating fan to generate soothing sounds that gently lulls a person to sleep. The energy efficient machine can be controlled with a smartphone app and offers full spectrum adjustable sound.
As a room gets quieter your hearing becomes more acute. One of the key reasons white noise is effective is that it reduces the delta between your baseline sound and containment noise so many disturbances aren't heard and the others sound much quieter (i.e. the "startle factor" is reduced). SNOOZ literally smooths the bumps in the night.
The company is currently raising funds through Kickstarter in order to bring SNOOZ to market.
