Could you tell us know what machine, which hose, under what circumstances, etc? Is the humidifier involved in any way at all at those times? Something to go on will let us help you better.

Generally, that is from water in a low spot in the tube. Raise the tube and any water will go back to the humidifier. Be sure the machine/humidifier is lower than your mattress and/or get a hose lifte system.....https://www.cpap.com/productpage/arden- ... ystem.html

Sometimes I will hear a popping noise, it usually comes between inhale and exhale. I found that it is the humidifier shifting due to pressure changes. I can usually make the noise stop by fiddling with the humidfier and getting a better seal.
