Owners of restaurants and outdoor cafes play white noise to help block traffic noises for their outside dining patrons. You can easily use white noise to make sitting outside on your favorite patio or outdoor area more enjoyable! Here's how: place the speaker(s) between you and the traffic, with the front of the speaker facing towards you, away from the source of traffic noise. Play the white noise at a comfortable volume level to mask the noise. It's that easy! top of page Foil eavesdroppers, listening devices and surveillance gear In this day and age, privacy is becoming more difficult to maintain, especially on the phone and in offices. Because white noise is difficult to filter out, it is often used for counter-surveillance measures. Keep private conversations private and increase your personal security. Protect your private conversations from hidden bugs and other surveillance devices. Listening devices cannot distinguish and separate between white noise and conversations, thus leaving the bugs useless. top of page    Tune out snoring Can't get a good night's sleep because of snoring?

Simply play our recommended white noise CDs to: Allay your pet's fear of loud noises, such as thunder phobia or booming fireworks. Minimize your dog or puppy's need to bark. White noise is an ideal anti-bark sound for behavior modification, especially when your dog or puppy needs to be desensitized to certain noises. Provide an environment of calm and relaxation for your scared pet, especially if your pet is afraid of its noisy surroundings. Help both you and your pet relax and fall asleep. Create a "sound" presence, when you're away at work all day or if your dog is bored. Our white noise CDs, especially the Comforts of Home collection, mimic the sounds of the home being occupied. Without such sound, the silence can be deafening to a dog, especially one with separation anxiety. top of page Sound screen for privacy; HIPAA compliance The need for privacy of conversations and personal information is more critical than ever, due to the requirements of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA requires that wherever private patient health matters may be discussed, steps must be taken to ensure privacy as well as prevent accidental eavesdropping. White noise can be used in the offices and waiting rooms of healthcare providers, doctor's offices, employers, vendors, counseling centers, clinics, and health insurance providers. Just place the speaker of your CD player facing towards the area of "unauthorized" listening, or use the CD player capability that's part of your sound masking acoustic system. Play any of our recommended white noise sound screen CDs at just the right volume to mask the private conversation so others cannot hear it.
