Analog Noise Generators Are Superior

The Problem With Other White Noise Machines, Sound Conditioners, and White Noise CDs

High quality white noise is supposed to consist of rapid "true-random" impulses. It is the very nature of this "randomness" that produces that distinct white noise sound - just like the random spattering of rain drops. If rain droplets fell in an orderly fashion, it would sound more like clapping than rainfall.

White noise that does NOT consist of true-random impulses is called pseudo-random noise. It sounds "white" because the individual impulses only seem to pop forth randomly. What is really going on is that this seemingly random train of impulses is just a pre-determined sequence of bits that eventually repeats. In other words, pseud-random noise has to play on loop mode in order to give the impression of continuous sound. It is just a simulation of true-random noise created by mathematical algorithms - a product of digital technology. It is not possible to generate true-random white noise by digital means, e.g., computer software or digital electronic circuitry.

Pseudo-random noise might sound O.K. at first, but the astute person listening to pseudo-random white noise would be able to detect the subtle variations & characteristics that repeat after a certain period of time. Analog noise is typically much smoother and does not contain the same variations that low quality digital noise may contain. And since analog noise does not need to play on loop mode, you will not get that annoying click that digital noise can sometimes produce when it loops back to the beginning.

Only analog technology can provide true-random white noise. The problem is that almost all other white noise generators or electronic sound conditioners found on the market are pseudo-random digital devices. Why? Because digital noise generators are much easier to manufacture.

We are one of the few manufacturers of analog noise generators. The noise produced by our noise generators consist of true random impulses based on the chaotic motion of electrons and "holes" at the quantum level. Not only do our noise generators produce true-random noise, but we offer a product that can generate both pink and white noise (most people find pink noise much more soothing to listen too). There is no other product on the market that can do this.

What about those popular white noise CDs? All noise CDs, whether they were recorded from analog, digital, or natural sources (rain shower or waterfall), consist of a string bits that has been already determined (no randomness whatsoever) from the very act of recording, and therefore considered pseudo-random noise. You would hear the same sound every time you play the CD.

Sound conditioners and CDs have other problems as well. Most sound conditioners have only a tiny speaker to produce a sound blanket, limiting both the sound quality and the volume (we all know what a small transistor radio sounds like). They do not even have tone controls to let you adjust the bass or treble to suite your needs.

Since most people already have a great sound system that has a set of tone controls and large speakers, our noise generators were designed to be connected to those very sound systems. That way, you can have full encompassing sound piped through dual speakers, and you can easily adjust the tone and volume as needed.

CDs are fragile and can easily get scratched or ruined.

We build our noise generators to last for many years. We spend a little extra for top quality components even though this raises manufacturing costs. Similar products are big and bulky and sell for several hundred dollars!
