First; put the machine lower than the top of your mattress, like on a low table.
--Or you may use a white noise machine, or run a small fan nearby.
Most get used to the machine sound with time, and this machine is one of the quietest.
Welcome.

What were you using before that was quieter than your Airsense?

Call the DME. The new machine might be defective.
--or you may have become desensitized to the sound of the old machine.
