I had been sleeping in the livingroom for some time and often used the tv on very low to fall asleep (helped with anxiety) so I didn't notice much noise from my CPAP. Every once in a while if I laid a certain way I'd notice a loud almost vibration/humming that I assume was from the tube but if I moved to another position I didn't notice it as much.

Now I just finished some remodeling and have my own bedroom so no more tv for background noise and the CPAP noise is driving me crazy! I put it in the floor and it's a tiny bit better than on my night stand, but even with my ears covered with a chin strap I hear it like the noise just vibrates right through my bed and pillow. I hear my breathing which I can handle. It's like a quieter darth vader sort of sound. But this is more of a loud I guess humming is the best way to describe it. I don't think it's the actual machine I think it's the air moving through the hose (it's quiet as I inhale), but I'm not sure what to do about it.

I use a Resmed Airsense 10. I'm currently not using a heated tube (I think it was quieter with the heated one but I had a terrible time with rainout so I'm back to a regular hose. My current mask is an Eson 2 which I just started using a couple months ago. I get a MUCH better seal with this mask so I'm hoping that's not the issue. It may be worse because I'm on a wood floor now in a smaller room so sound travels and echoes a bit. Thinking about at least getting a rug for it to sit on and see if that helps.

Any other thoughts or ideas? I never had a noise issue with my Resmed 9 at all. Sometimes I wasn't even sure if it was on it was so quiet. Didn't hear myself breath or anything.

TIA
