Tech expert Dave Taylor explores the sounds and features of the Sound Plus Therapy machine - including its synchronized lights - and talks about how it works, why they focus on 40Hz sound, and more. Includes all sounds demonstrated.

This machine should be able to help you sleep better
0:02
Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here and I want to talk about sleep
0:13
Now, we all know we should be sleeping eight hours a night and it should be restful and we should wake up feeling great
0:19
But that doesn't always happen. Sometimes it's environmental. But other times it's actually things going on with us
0:26
It might be things in our body. It might be things to do with our. brain or brain chemistry we're complicated right so one of the things that this
0:36
company has done they've done a lot of sound machines for sleep that give you
0:40
background noises but this one's a little different this one works with the
0:44
gamma band activity of your brain now the gamma band is between 30 and 200
0:51
Hertz so it's very very low frequency sounds and there's research to show that
0:58
that can help you get into a calmer, more relaxed state and get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. So this machine is
1:08
focused on generating a 40 hertz frequency. That's more or less the same sound you're going to get
1:14
from a gong or from one of those meditation bowls. So this is going to be a similar sort of thing
1:20
But of course it's tech, so they've upped it up a little bit. So it actually generates four
1:26
different beat sounds and you can add or not add a fan sound in addition there's nine different volume
1:34
levels and then it also has a light element so you can set it so that it'll actually do flashing lights
1:41
in sync with the sound now i talked a lot let actually turn this thing on and hear what it sounds like and one thing I will say before we start is that the quality of what you going to hear
1:54
is a function of my microphone, YouTube's encoding, and your speaker. So what I'm going to hear is going to be better than what you're going to hear
2:03
But let's turn it on. Okay, so if you have noise-canceling headphones, you might not hear anything, but it's a
2:14
low sort of vibration there and it definitely is not a bad background sound by itself but if we
2:25
look at the front you can see that these lights are flashing in sync we can turn that off by just
2:32
turning the lights brightness down and down so now it's off and then we can change there's four
2:39
different sounds so listen carefully And then we're back to the original one
2:54
Now, I find that the lowest of the frequencies works best for me
2:59
And if I'm, like, nodding off and tired and I turn this on, then I just go really deep, really fast
3:07
It's very pleasant. So you have that, and let me show you in a close-up
3:12
You also have a timer function, which is 30, 60, 120, or 180 minutes, and then it'll turn off
3:20
You can turn on or off those lights, and let's add that fan sound
3:25
You ready? And I'm going to turn it off. So you can experiment with this so there four sounds and the fan so that gives you eight possibilities And then the light has four brightness levels or off obviously And then this big center dial is volume
3:47
So if we turn it all the way down, I can just barely hear
3:53
I'm sure you cannot. And if we turn it all the way up, that's pretty darn loud
4:02
So again, like... all of the other features here this is something you're going to want to
4:07
experiment with to find what works best for you and I'm going to turn this off
4:11
so that I stay alert and that's just a push on the power button and it's worth
4:16
noting on the side here is a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack so if this is
4:21
something where it really helps you but your partner on the other side of the
4:25
bed is not a fan you could use this with headphones or with one of those
4:29
pillow mics and just put it under your pillow and then you'd hear it and they
4:34
just barely hear the tiniest bit of it and it probably not only wouldn't bother them probably
4:38
help them sleep better so that's everything here this is a really straightforward device it seems
4:45
to be a really great solution for people that are having challenges sleeping i do need to note that
4:52
it is not fda evaluated so these are all suggested ways that you can try it your experience will
4:59
vary the company does stand behind their product i've been reviewing aST
5:04
products for a long time and they're super well made and they just last forever
5:09
There is one of these devices, the one that's just a sleep sound
5:13
on the bedside table of my daughter's bed. I have another one of my devices now on my other daughter's bedroom and I actually have one in my own room
5:23
And I have another one that I use when I travel And I tell you travel with a sound machine absolute win but this isn exactly that this is one where instead of trying to
5:34
simulate ocean or river or rainfall this is deliberately using science to
5:40
figure out frequencies that resonate and help your brain calm down and in
5:47
that sense it's a really interesting device so we do need to talk about the
5:51
price but before we get there I'm going to invite you to subscribe to my channel click or a tap on subscribe hit that bell icon for notifications
5:59
give me a thumbs up if this was a value i hope it was and we're connected great this is the ashti
6:08
sound plus therapy machine and it is $249 at soundplus therapy dot com but i did notice if you sign up for
6:19
their email newsletter they will send you a $50 off coupon dropping it to
6:23
down to $199. Now $199 might sound a little spendy, but if you're the person that this is for
6:31
where you have not had a good restful night sleep in months or even years, this might well be
6:39
something to check out. That's all I got. I think I'm going to turn it back on and I'm going
6:46
to turn on those lights. Get that going there too. And I'll hope to catch you
6:53
you in my next video
