Or you could get a S8 AutoSet II.

It comes from the factory very quiet, with faint green lights, and no power brick.

No foam required.

But what fun is that?

[toddl1962]

I am about to modify my nightstand so I can put the unit underneath behind a door and may surround by foam as well. Also, those darn blue LEDs!!! As an engineer I can't believe they create this wonderful medical device and overlook the brightness of the LEDs. I currently have mine covered with white electrical tape and now the brightness is perfect. Also I wish the buttons were duplicated onthe front of the machine so when it's placed on a middle nightstand shelf you could reach the on/off and ramp buttons.

WOW..that is very nice.
I'll bet it works very well.
Nice workmanship.
I really like the color, too.

....BUT.....I never thought I would be saying this....BUT.....

Geesh I've got the Resmed S8 ( original ) and the Respironics M type with Aflex with the blue lights and we have no problem with noise or the lights from either one.

I can understand some people might be bothered by the white noise but those blue lights I don't see how they would bother anyone ... unless they slept with their eyes open.

If you close your eyes ... how do the blue lights bug you?

My owner has very sensitive hearing and she is just happy to no longer have my snores vibrating the walls.

We have a hepa air filter going in the bedroom 24 /7 and it makes some white noise and the cpap machines are not noticeable.

But, that's why they say " different strokes for different folks "

I've got the exact same thing on my project list. Good work. Where did you source the foam if you don't mind me asking?

Rusty, I have had this foam for many years left over from a studio project. It's sound proofing material. I can't recall specifically where I bought it. But music supply companies carry it and it's very expensive. They probably have it smaller sheets than what I bought.

But here is the weird thing. I've had this going for 2 nights now, and have achieved my lowest AHI numbers ever! It must just be a coincidence, but I pulled a 0.6 last night!
Normally, I am in the low 1.9 to 1.3 range. The last two nights I got 0.6 AHI. Maybe I am sleeping better without the noise from the blower? I don't know, but time will tell. And hopefully I won't have to produce that extra wide version for the new PR series.

I just had my BEST NIGHT EVER, since using the Sound Baffle System! My AHI is 0.4... something is working for me!



Never have I achieved numbers this low. It started 3 nights ago, when I first started using the Baffle. Nothing else has changed. Same Activa LT mask. Same settings (12-20 range). Since having data, my numbers started in the 3's, and upper 2's. Then the best I ever had was in the 1.3 to 1.9 range. I never broker zero. Now 0.4... I never thought I would get there. Three nights in a row... since adding the Sound Baffle... coincidence? You decide.

You've convinced me. It's time to make a sound baffle.

[Rustyolddude]

Here's a question for ya, have you ever tried ear plugs Thinking now of getting one of those vibrating alarm clocks that heraing impaired folks use and giving ear plugs another try. Otherwise I'll have to make a sound baffle for the CPAP, the cat, the wife........

[Leonbergergirl]

I am a lousy sleeper and therefore always plug my ears into a CD or BBC or iPod with a timer.
So, i rarely hear anything, especially the 180# dog arfing to go out or get petted. Nor do
i particularly hear the man next to me hacking and coughing (he doesn't know that i am
usually oblivious to his noises, so he goes downstairs with a pail of coughdrops). And i snooze
--more or less--on. Glad to have two huge dogs available in case of home invasion.

You know what... I never thought of ear plugs. Although I suspect that would bug me (having something else jammed in or on my body). But that's a good idea for anyone bothered by the noise.

I didn't know they had vibrating alarm clocks. What does it vibrate? A sensor under the pillow?

Apparently I am a light sleeper (I never thought of myself that way). But I guess I am. Just the sound from the vents on a mask, can bother me. Although I can still hear my machine, with the baffle in place, I'm guessing it defuses and knocks the sound down enough to help me get a more restful sleep. So time will tell. I hope I'm on to something that works for me.

...Apparently I am a light sleeper...

Most of my life I slept well, then I became a lighter and lighter sleeper until even the AC coming on would wake me...now, I know that this was my brain not allowing me to get into deep sleep (no deep sleep in PSG, no REM either) because I had OSA. After my first few wks of CPAP, I started sleeping much more deeply...not like before but more deeply. Light still bothers me but sound is not such a big deal anymore. Maybe you'll have the same nice change over time.

If you do a search on hearing impaired travel alarms, you see a whole host of options. There are some that have a small disk that you place under your pillow and others that shake the whole mattress. As far as ear plugs go, I've tried dozens of brands. Bar far the most comfortable I've ever found especially to sleep with are the Howard Leigth Max Lite's. http://www.howardleight.com/family/index/3
My only reservation in using them during the week is not hearing the alarm clock.

.....yea......'dude..could you let us know what you come up w/for that.
