The September issue of CR rates the sound machine, Tranquil Moments Travel Sound Therapy System, as a favorite for the panelists who tested it. It masked most of the unwanted sounds when on the setting. It has a timer and 12 sound settings. Panelists fell asleep more easily and said they stayed asleep longer. It works with either an outlet or four AA batteries.
