I have the same question as someone asked in Nov. 2012, does this have a continuous setting? We need it to run all night to drown out outside noise.

Yes, it does. I run mine all night to drown out barking dogs in the neighborhood.

It has a timer option to turn off after a certain amount of time or to run continuously.

I looked at the manual and believe all you have to do is turn the sleep timer off. When sounds are on in the continuous mode, you can only use a buzzer as an alarm if you also use the unit as your wake up alarm. If you go to the sound oasis website, you can download the manual. look at page A-10.

Yes you can run the sounds all night. You just set the timer to "off" and press the sound button. If you turn on the timer, you have to select 30, 60, or 90 minute play. Just turn the timer off. Hope this helps.

Sorry it took so long. Yes, it has a setting for 30, 60, 90 minutes, or continuous, they refer to continuous as timer off.

I do keep keep it running 24/7. Honestly, the only time I notice it making noise is when the water level is too low, other than that, it's very quiet.

In my opinion it sounds like a two speed fan .Set it on Low or high speed for consistant sound.I like the same level of sound wave all night.

No, it does not have to run continuously but only as it is "connected" to the "heat" or "cool" modes. There is a selection on the remote that deals solely with "fan" - on, off, or auto. I am responding from memory. I have it installed on the Mr. Slim Mitsubishi which is in my aviary -- but I recall there is a mode dealing only with the fan. However, if the heat or air is on, then the fan runs in tandem, as required, for either of those two settings. It is great because I can set the temperature and simply leave it.

No it always seems to be loud. Over a year no better. I don't run it at night anymore because of this

I have not found out a way to make it run continuously. It stops every 30 minutes.

I am not sure about the first question, but my MP3 player will run continuously. The volume control is a 'real knob' function, which can be adjusted by the remote. The volume does not change on loss of power.

I've never run it all night, but it has an on and off switch. I turn it on when I want it to run and turn it off when I am ready to stop it. If I didn't turn it off, I'm sure it would run all night.

No, it does not block out street noise when it is turned off, although it may be muffled very slightly. When it is not running, why would you expect that it would block out noise from the street completely? There is still the rest of the window with glass in it - just as before.

Have not used it this year yet, I don't remember having it on more then 3 hrs at a time last year. We always shut it off, sorry... P.S. it works great!

No sir. We purchased this certain model - for my husband - and it has turned out to be very good at keeping out the noise, BUT when it comes to using the radio - it fades out / completely at times, quite a bit. Thus, he has an expensive pair of outside noise blockers.

Susan, I use it at night too and it doesn't make any sound when you change stations!

It stays on all night. You can set a timer. I bought it because I wanted the all night option.

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

When it runs it sounds like a fan. In my opinion it's not too noisy but we keep it in our living room so I'm not sure if it would be too loud to sleep at night. It works very well.

No. I have never noticed that and I run it continuously. I actually have two of them that are always on and I have never noticed that in either one.

Yes the fan runs continuously. It works like a mini fridge. I never have the problem with noise as my kitchen is far from my bedroom. It's not loud at all unless you are so sensitive to noise. I can understand the annoyance if the person is sensitive to noise or lives in a studio apt. I love this product alot as it keeps my wine at the right temp and seals it.
