STAY AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
The sleepbuds™ are designed to mask noise and disturbances while you sleep. Because of this, they can affect your ability to hear other sounds, such as alarms, warning systems, people and pets.
SET AN APPROPRIATE VOLUME
To balance the levels of noise masking and awareness you want, set an appropriate volume level for your needs. The volume should be high enough to mask noises that are disturbing your sleep, but not so high that you can’t hear the sounds you want to hear.
In the Bose Sleep app, set the volume to the lowest level, then increase it gradually until you reach an appropriate level. The lower the volume, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to hear the sounds you want or need to hear.
