what does it indicate when the CPAP machine after it has been on for about 5 hours starts making sounds in the tubing like popping, knocking, etc. My humidifier is set on 5 & the tubing temp is set on 68 which blows out cooler air which I like. The humidifier on 4 makes my nose stuffy but sometimes on 5 I have water dripping from my mask. Please give me some suggestions or advice. Thanks

You've got rain out or condensation in the hose and/or mask.
When water gets in the hose it makes an awful racket.
Increase your hose air temp.

Usually cause by condensation..cool room and warm moist air in the tube. Get a tube cover to insulate it, get a heated hose, reduce humidity, keep the hose under the covers, try a hose lift to make the water run back to the humidifier. Any 1 or a combination of these will solve the problem.

LSAT eluded to it, but be sure the machine is lower than the bed.
