8A Solving the Problem

My opportunity is the ability to help the environment, those who use electric noise machines to help them sleep at night, and those who need an environmentally friendly way of drowning out city noise by providing an environmentally friendly relaxation sound maker. This will help people save money on their electricity bill, but also will help the environment by providing those who use electricity to power sound makers at night with an eco-friendly alternative.

While not all users of rain noises to sleep use the sound maker all night, many still do use a good amount of electricity by playing these noises via a timer. So this solution would enable even those users to save some power and enjoy the same noises in a greener way.

There are a few options for the products that could be created to fulfill this need.

1. A non-electric fan could be used that has certain beads and fillings put into the blade so that, as the fan moves, so do the beads, and the sound of rain and wind will be provided as a soothing option for those who prefer those noises to the noise of a city or need those noises to sleep.

2. A funnel type product that could be attached to the roof and act as a speaker of sorts to amplify natural noises of rain and wind that occur in certain climates. This option is more limited due to not all climates providing the right weather.

3. A tube that recycles the same beads and can circulate them up and down to create the relaxing noise of rain without needing the motion of the fan to do so.

All of these options could be provided in many styles, sizes, and colors so that the product could blend seamlessly with the interior of any rooms they would be put into. These products would also have optional installation available to consumers so that they do not have to put the products together themselves.
