Make sure the S9 and humidifier are properly attached.

I had this issue once, and it was because I didn't have the H5i latched in all the way.

My s9 is a loaner for now but does the same exact thing, I will have to check out to connection too!

Not on exhale but mine will make a hissing sound during inhale at high pressure settings. I never notice it because I have a fan blowing in the room for white noise.
