How about listening to a gentle rain in a hot summer night while going for bed? How about listening to a tranquil meadow in the middle of a sleepless night? Well, Ecotones, by Silicon Valley start up ASTI, has come up with 12 soundscapes such as rolling surf, gentle rain, a bubbling brook, a crackling fireplace, or a tranquil meadow, creating a serene acoustic environment for your ears only.

The best part is its unique adaptive mode. When the background noise level jumps–for example, due to a passing ambulance or a neighbor’s party- the device instantly raises the volume of the soundscape to coun teract the disturbance. It can also be set to run only when the room falls quiet, allowing you to carry on a conversation, or at a volume set manually.

It has 18-bit high fidelity, exceeding the 16-bit quality of CDs.
