Cambridge sound management's $300 Nightingale sleep system does a lot more than your standard white noise machine first you get two devices for your money rather than one plug in the nightingale outlets on opposite sides of your bedroom to create a stereo effect the startup refers to as sound blankets once you've opened the app the software helps you pick the right sound based on your knees this is the part nightingale gets right and if you don't like their recommendation you can check out some of their more exotic options Nightingale also factors in physical characteristics of a room is the floor carpeted do you have hardwood all of this affects how sound travels while nightingale surround sound approach is definitely immersive $300 is a pretty steep price so is it worth it possibly for folks dealing with snoring or tinnitus I also like that you can ask Alexa to control your nightingale as well as set up custom automations with IFFT but there's one really annoying possibly deal-breaker ii thing about night Gale when the outlets are plugged in but not in use they emit a subtle high-pitched frequency sound if you can't hear it it's no big deal but if you can it's distracting enough to make a pre sleep ritual like reading in bed a bit more difficult
