When it arrived, the woman thought the Dohm Classic looked small. This desperation drove the woman to the internet, where she found her last resort: the Marpac Dohm Classic White Noise Sound Machine. After all, during waking hours the dog was fine and not barking or delusional, though it was old and had some additional trouble with its bladder. The woman cried and did not want to do it. Now it sounded like the dog was barking under their bed, directly in their ears. The woman and her husband began to keep the dog in a pen downstairs, right below their bedroom, which they thought would soften the sound of the barking, because the dog was now on a lower floor, but this only made the sound of the barking worse. Every night the dog woke them up with its delusional barking. By the time of this correct diagnosis, the woman’s husband and the woman had been sleepless for months. This went on for months, until a second vet finally diagnosed the dog with dementia. The doggie Xanax did not stop the barking. The woman took it to a vet and the vet prescribed doggie Xanax.
The woman thought maybe the dog was anxious. When the barking began, the woman thought it had to pee, but she let the dog out and it did not pee. The dog was not barking because it had to pee. When the dog became old, it began to have delusions in the middle of the night. In one review a woman describes how the Marpac Dohm Classic saved her marriage. It has more than eight thousand positive reviews on Amazon. Invented in 1962, the Marpac Dohm Classic is beloved. Everybody on the internet agrees that the second kind-the fan-generated, air-moving, sound-wave-disrupting kind-is a far superior white noise machine, and that within this superior model there is a superior brand: the Marpac Dohm Classic.
#Sound machine to block out noise series#
In the hole I found out that there are essentially two kinds of white noise machines: ones that are basically just speakers that loop electronic recordings of static, and ones that possess a series of small internal fans that physically move the air in a given room around in a pattern that disrupts and counteracts sound waves. This unexpected need for silence drove me into an internet hole of white-noise-machine consumer research. And I would never ask my husband to stop playing his Bach, because the morning Bach ritual is one of his very favorite things. I did not want to want silence but I did in fact want it. Thus, my desire for silence caught me off guard. I have always prided myself on being a hearty person who can sit on the floor for hours, eat anything, sleep anywhere, including in airport chairs, and work doggedly with meager tools in loud, inopportune environments. I used to be able to block out noise, including my husband’s Bach ritual, but several years ago I became inexplicably obsessed with sitting in silence. It sounds like the sound my lungs make when I am running up a very steep hill. These are for his “chops.” He plays the sections he most struggles with, which results in me frequently hearing music that is struggling to be played. Bach is hard to play, which is one of the reasons he chooses to repeatedly play it. My husband often plays the same violin pieces over and over.
He practices in the early morning, before we both go to work at regular jobs where we make money and don’t make art.
