Fan Noise with White Noise CD [White Fan]

This recording contains one common household three blade fan running on high; lightly processed and mixed with our digital white noise. If you find the sound of a fan soothing but also want the qualities of white noise; then you will love white fan. It's like having a fan with a volume control. Turn it down or use your equalizer to get a variation of fan sounds. If you need masking noise but are afraid that pure white noise might sound too clinical and unnatural; this is a great alternative. Played at a low background volume, it can blend in with your environment and seem more natural than pure noise. This is great if used in an environment where you will have a lot of visitors/customers but want something that blends into the background a bit better. White Fan is lightly mixed with our digital white noise to help improve its noise masking abilities and uses. White noise is generally known for its use in sound conditioners and sleep machines. White Noise is generally used to reduce or mask distractions from sudden or constant noises. Many people like to sleep, nap, meditate, or study while playing white Noise in the background. To use White Fan: simply play at a comfortable listening level (slightly louder than external noises and distractions) to help mask unpleasant noises using a more pleasant fan sound. We generate the Digital White noise used in White Fan using a software/hardware based system to directly generate a digital image. The fan was recorded in an isolation studio booth using the latest quality microphones and recording hardware; then recorded directly to disk (digitally), and mixed and mastered in the digital domain. This attention to quality creates a recording that is as close to the original sound(s) as possible.

View larger. Kids love documenting their world (photo taken with the Kid Tough camera). Big buttons are perfect for little hands. What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Durable, easy way for kids to experience photography The Bad: May seem bulky in little hands In a Nutshell: This Fisher-Price camera really is Kid Tough. At a Glance Ages: 3 and up Requires: Four AAA batteries Easy to Start Taking Pictures An adult will need to use a screwdriver to install the four AAA batteries before kids get their hands on this camera. With a textured button on the front that releases the shutter and large buttons on the back that let little hands turn the camera on and off, browse through pictures and delete images, using this camera is so easy it doesn't need to come with instructions. The fun, brightly colored body helps distinguish this camera from boring adult models, making it an instant favorite. Kid-Friendly Technology Kids can pick between using the live view on a 1.5-inch color LCD preview screen or looking through the two-eye viewer when taking pictures. The preview screen also lets kids look at pictures the moment after they take them. With a built-in flash that automatically illuminates darkened scenes, and a shutter noise that makes it easy to know when a picture has been taken, kids are sure to be delighted by their images. The 64 MB built-in memory stores up to 500 pictures and eliminates the need for handling fragile and expensive memory cards. Two image resolution settings, 0.3 and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels, let kids take plenty of pictures and make 4 x 6-inch prints. Fun, Durable Way to Encourage Creativity With its big rubberized grips and sturdy construction, we found this camera lived up to its incredibly durable reputation. Able to easily withstand being dropped again and again and waterproof for 30 minutes in up to three feet of water, this camera can handle the rough reality of active play. The heavy-duty construction that makes this camera so durable can also make it seem somewhat bulky for little hands, but this won't prevent kids from wanting to take it on all their adventures. Older children and adults may be disappointed by the image quality, but higher resolutions would allow less pictures to be stored and decrease the amount of fun children have with this camera. Kids quickly find that there's plenty of resolution for exercising creative urges and documenting the wonders of everyday life. The camera comes with a USB cable so pictures can be downloaded quickly and easily for editing and viewing. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple Mac OSX, Apple Mac OS9 and requires a USB port 1.1 or higher for computer connectivity.
