Anyone have this problem? I use the ramp feature to fall asleep and then somewhere close to my level (10) a high pitched whistle seems to start. This has happened both nights so far (had it only two days). Am I doing something wrong? Having trouble identifying whats causing it, but its somewhere in the nose piece, fidgeting with it makes the noise stop momentarily.
thanks
Swift starts whistling after a while
check to see if the end plug is leaking....a very common problem.
Just wrap it with teflon plumbers tape if you even think there is a chance its leaking.

Definitely counds like a leak in the plug or where the hose connects. I have the Swift too and my pressure runs up as high as 10 and no whistling sounds. Very quiet actually.

Another source of whistle (with me) is if I have the barrel rotated so the pillows aren't quite properly against my nares. It'll be OK for a while, then the whistle begins, like the worst nose whistle you've ever heard!
I've also had the connection between my APAP and humidifier whistle.
If they can't remember the words, I wish they'd just hum instead .

This happens to me, and every time the culprit is the sliding lock doohickey that keeps the pillows on. If that slider is a little bit on one side or the other I would hear the whistle. Try moving the slider slightly from side to side and see if the noise stops.
