White Noise+ is an ambient noise machine, which aims to drown out distractions by filling your ears with something pleasant instead.
Rather than just offering you sounds to play, or sliders to adjust volume levels, it takes the form of a mini mixing desk akin to the smart drums grid in GarageBand. You drag sounds into the 16 available slots, with those towards the top playing at a louder volume, and those towards the right offering more complexity. It’s intuitive, effective and looks really great as well.

Shore Club South Beach
Neto
Prior to arriving I reached out to the concierge as I wanted to surprise my wife roses in the room. I spoke with
Neto, the concierge, and he said he would take care of it. When we arrived on July 3rd, in our room was a gorgeous bouquet of 1 1/2 dozen long stem roses. As I wanted to make the first day special. We spent the day a the pool. I asked
Neto to find a place for us to have a great dinner and see the fireworks for July 4th.
Neto did not disappoint...It was a perfect day and evening and to end the evening when we returned to our rom there was a bowl of fruit and Champaign waiting for us. The Thursday night
Neto again sent a surprise to our room. Thank you
Neto, you truly made the stay amazing.
