SOUND SOOTHER
®10
The Sound Soother provides a relaxing atmosphere of soothing background sounds of
nature. It can be used to effectively mask out surrounding noises, such as traffic, loud
neighbors and even snoring.
It has been generally found that the Sound Soother volume does not need to be very
loud to be effective. Most people find that even with the Sound Soother positioned at a
low volume, they will be able to ignore distracting noises, and improve their relaxation.
The Sound Soother®will turn off when the alarm sounds, but it cannot be used as an alarm.
