Yeah, it’s got an unfinished daylight basement.
One of my apartments is about 900 sq ft but I like it all on the same level.

My house occupies the same floor space as a 2/3 bedroom apartment. It's about 40 sq ft shy of 1000. Other than the batshit cost of everything I absolutely love it.
It's like two floors, though, right?
I finally watched that acorn video. Omg, the combat roll.

what brand? i got a Dohm in every room with a bed. sleeping sucks when i travel, tho.
Sound and Sleep Hi-Fi. Pretty sure I got it from a medical supply house.

People also use them to prevent eavesdropping.
Dohm is just a fan. There are two rings that rotate to change the frequency of the noise. But yeah, it’s just a constant steady sound. I use mine to block out road noise.
Then again, snoring and rain are not constant, which makes them annoying. My tinnitus is fine because it's constant. If the ocean waves were constant and never had a moment of silence, they could be bearable, I guess.

I can't fall asleep when I hear a sound like snoring or rain hitting roof windows. I'm quite sure I wouldn't like ocean sounds either.
