White noise generators just add to the total noise level.  Premature
deafness, anyone?

Have you looked at noise canceling headsets?  They're expensive, and
there's a lot of debate about which are best, but they seem to attack
the real problem, not mask it.

Marpac makes an interesting set of products - white noise generators,
flashing lights, and swimimng pool fillers.

Slightly off topic,  Any ideas on how to mask noise in a NOISY
office???

No doubt a problem for many programmers.

Our maint staff suggests the Sound Screen 980.
We have no experience with portables and would welcome
any suggestions from those that have been able to quiet
their working environment.
