My Cpap Machine Is Making Noise

Unfortunately cpap machines do not last forever.

My cpap machine is making noise.

Resmed airsense 10 autoset cpap machine with heated humidifier. Your cpap machine is aging. If your machine starts to make a funny noise doesn t seem to generate the same pressure as before or is otherwise being temperamental it may simply be time to replace the device. With hours of use every night the motor in your cpap will eventually degrade and can start to make grinding clicking or whirring noises.

The resmed airsense 10 features an easy breathe motor. For some people this noise is no source of disturbance for the oversensitive ones it is a huge problem. If you are new to cpap just like anything else new it may take some getting used to the sounds that the cpap makes during operation. This is what happens when the mask isn t sealed to your face properly and the air starts to get out of the mask and leaks between it and the skin of your face.

If the natural sound of your cpap is just too noisy try moving it further from your bed. If you fall into the second category you need to reposition your machine. Noise coming from the cpap mask may require mask adjustment or replacement and noise from the cpap machine may indicate a need for replacement maintenance or relocation. The truth is that your cpap will make some noise no matter how little.

If you have tried all of these solutions and the natural sound of your cpap machine is still bothering you or your partner you could try masking the sound with a white noise app a fan or relaxing. If your cpap machine is making noise when inhaling there could be a leak. If noise other than whistling is keeping you or your bed partner up at night then you may want to look for a cpap machine with quieter performance.
