There are people who keep a fan running, or the hood in their kitchen. That of course works. But the amount of energy required is probably 100x that of a radio.

There are people who keep a fan running, or the hood in their kitchen. That of course works. But the amount of energy required is probably 100x that of a radio. And the latter has the added benefit that you can adjust the type of noise, as well as the volume.
- forgotmypw17 4y agoI was asking about the comparison of an existing radio (electronic, not electromechanical like a fan) to a brand new device.
