![]() ![]() It resembles the sounds of steady rainfall or wind and is often considered to be more soothing than white noise, which some people find unpleasant. Pink noise is white noise, but with reduced higher frequencies. Similar to the way white light contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum at equal intensity, white noise has equal power across all frequencies audible to the human ear. White noise, probably the most familiar of these, sounds like a radio tuned to an unused frequency. Most of us have heard the term “white noise”. There are five different fan sounds, four brown and pink noises and two synthesized ocean wave sounds. ![]() ![]() The Micro2 can produce eleven unique, non-looping digital sounds. It is primarily a sound machine, and that’s where it gets more impressive. These features are really add-ons for the Micro2. It was essentially unusable for phone calls. I could tell someone was speaking, but the sound quality was simply terrible. Like my previous caller reported, I could not make out anything my wife said. I tried it again, but I put my wife on the speaker end of the call and I was on another cell phone. If I wasn’t yelling, they could barely tell I was talking. While I could hear my caller very clearly over the speaker, they couldn’t hear me well at all. When you are playing music, the skip buttons on either side of the play/pause button will skip ahead/back one track.Īs a Bluetooth speaker for phone calls, I’d recommend using something else. The sound is good, not great, and bass is all but absent. ![]() When it is connected to a Bluetooth source, the LED indicator turns a familiar blue.Īs a Bluetooth speaker, the Micro2 is about what you’d expect from something this small. The indicator glows red when charging.įirst, I gave the Micro2 a test run as a Bluetooth speaker. The USB port is directly below the poser selector. On the other side, near the logo, we find the power switch and USB port.Īgain, taking a closer look, we see the two available modes, Bluetooth to the left and sleep sound mode to the right. Taking a closer look, we find rubberized buttons to skip to the next or previous sound, a play/pause button, and volume buttons. It is battery powered, so you can charge it during the day, and use it at night on the battery while you charge your phone, reducing the number of chargers you have to carry. The LectroFan Micro2 is a tiny (check the specs!) sleep sound machine that also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker with a microphone for calls from your smartphone. What if there was another, more portable and flexible solution? What is it? This means yet one more bulky thing to pack, usually with its power cord and massive wall-wart power supply. These machines use digital or recorded sounds to mask other ambient noise, providing a sound environment more conducive to sleep. How can anyone get a reasonable night’s sleep under these conditions? Many people rely on sleep sound machines. My favorite are these two: the ever-present “I don’t care that this isn’t my house and I’ll talk as loud as I want to in the hall at whatever time of day I please” idiot down the hall from you and the person in the room next to you that believes that “100” is the proper television volume setting, only because it doesn’t go to “101”. Loud climate control systems, aircraft or traffic noise certainly contribute to the issue. Sleeping in hotel rooms is especially problematic. We all need it, but for many of us, we don’t get enough.
