Respironics hums on exhale.

Post by mfignewton » Wed May 15, 2013 5:44 am

My respironics has a hum on the exhale and it is loud enough to keep me awake. I have tried to adjust c-flex and move hoses around but nothing seems to work. This machine is only about 2 weeks old. Any suggestions on what else to check.

I just received my WISP mask and wanted to try this out to see if it was maybe the old GOLife mask i had before that was making the low hum on exhale. About 5:30am I could hear the low hum with the WISP so i know it is not the mask. It only seems to do it when the machine has been running for more than 4 hours and it does not do it every night. So i'm not sure what it is.
