I have basicly the same setup. I had clicking noises with mine found water in the hose. The hose from the diffences in temperature of the heated water and room temperature caused water to lay in the loop at the bottom casuing my noise. I am not sure if it is the same thing but I moved my machine to the floor and the noise has been gone for the last few days

Hope this helps

Probably a little rainout in the hose. What is your humidifier setting? Maybe you could turn it down a mite.
Also, its a good idea to have a "hose hanger". I just used a thick rubber band that the postman used to wrap around the mail, and used it to hang my hose through about a foot or more above my head on the bed post, and it works fine, and at a cost of zero.
