Million Dollar Web Business Idea #9231-A
November 20, 2007
As we do not have one in our current digs, we are really noticing the absence of a fan in our room. We usually go to sleep with one, and it sure does help - Stella is used to one as well. We’ve also noticed in a lot of hotels/motels that they have replaced the old-school in-wall loud clunker fan/ac units with sleek quiet ones…causing the same problem there.
How about a website with 5-10 streaming looped sounds for those of us who are not used to silence when we sleep:
- Big Box Fan
- Clunky A/C
- Ocean
- City Traffic
- Trains
- Street chatter through a single-paned window
- Snoring neighbor
Business travelers and others then just hop on the ubiquitous wifi and stream the sounds through their laptops to hum them to sleep.
Load up the website with google ads and other such truck (insomniacs are likely to click through) and make a mint. If you use my idea - the fee is always the same: a big fat ipod, some gift cards, and whatever else your heart feels like giving.

I’m sure your father-in-law would be happy to tape your mother-in-law snoring, but playing it might keep the upstairs neighbors awake!

Firstly, so glad you have somewhere to live. Secondly we have recently bought a dehumidifier - which really has been helping me to get to sleep. I think I’ve only had one bad night’s sleep since we got it (compared with every other night normally!). So, whoever’s running with this idea - please include that noise. Thanks.

Ooor, you could do what I do - live-stream NPR REALLY low, so it’s just barely voices, rather than any interesting noises…. It works quite well.
Hey, if you’ve got broadband, may as well use it, right?

Shave your pubescent stache …… or wear motorcycle cop glasses at all times.

What that expression….
oh yeah,
Silence is Golden
you can get white noise generators for your computer. We have one installed on our laptop. When Maxwell needed to sleep I would put the laptop under his cradle and turn on the white noise. It put him out like a light.

Best of luck to you (all) in Seattle!
