Ever see the Sex and The City episode when Carrie was dating "Burger" and he used a noise machine at night that made bird sounds and she just couldn't handle it? Well, many years ago we lived on a loud block in Manhattan and the outside traffic  noise kept us up night after night. We ended up getting one of these noise machines, but we didn't get one with animal sounds because that was way too annoying, instead we opted for the one that Psychologists and Psychiatrists use in their waiting rooms so that other patients don't hear a word of the session in progress.

I have converted so many friends whose husbands or wives snore or that live on a block with heavy traffic. It takes a night or two to get used to it, but once you do you won't be able to sleep with out it. We even take a battery operated one with us when we travel which is great when housekeeping decides to slam doors at 8 in the morning!
