Mirage Liberty - Noise

I got my new Liberty today. I tried it for about 10 minutes. The thing I noticed the most was the vent noise. Is this common?

Re: CPAP purchase recomendations

Thanks for your comments and advice. The insurance company is involved, and, I believe I will be paying a monthly fee (co-pay) forever if I stay with what I have now . So I think in the long run it will be cheaper to buy one.

Re: Another newb with questions

Thank You, Since it has been more than a month, how does one get a machine that reports data? I have a two month follow up appt with the doc on Friday.
Why do they prescribe machines that do not let the gauge the effectiveness?

Another newb with questions

I have been using my machine every night for about a month and a half. I just found this forum and of course have some questions. First, can I get any useful data from my machine? Second, if I can I have no idea how, can someone elaborate? I'll stop for now, thanks in advance for your help.
