Nope, no squeaking here. Other noises ("It wasn't me, it was my Activa!"), but no squeaking.

Mine squeaks at the swivel connection after I wash it. I keep what's left of a bar of bath soap that's about used up & after I wash the connection & let it dry, I rub the soap over both parts & snap it together. No more squeak.

i'm new to the whole cpap world, but my activa mask does not squeak. my nose may wheeze a bit if i don't clear it well before i go to sleep, but that's my own doing.

good luck

This is the third time I've tried to reply to your question. Maybe I'll hit the right button tonight and this will get back to you. If you are still experiencing problems, it may just simply be a matter of tightening the headgear straps. Mine mask really can whistle like a teapot if Iamb not sealed correctly. Another think you can do with the Activa is get another cushion size. This too, I've had to do.

If the noise is in the swivel connection, try using a little Vaseline on the joining parts, and you'll hear no more swivel noise.

One last thing, the racket could be coming from the exhaust holes. Make sure they are blowing across the surface of a sheet or pillowcase. Let us know if you are still having problems.
