Has anyone in the community had success in reducing the noise level for the transcend mini CPAP? I recently purchased it and I’m seriously regretting it. While the noise my family hears when it’s an operation is tolerable, they say it’s just a hissing sound, the sound I hear as the user of the CPAP is like a vacuum cleaner in my ear. Its get louder as the pressure increases The muffler does absolutely nothing. AI search reveals that changing the mask to one without a leader hose that can connect directly to the transcend mini hose is a possible solution. Has anyone had success with that? I’ve already purchased two masks , but they both have leader hoses because of the nasal pillows. It seems like the only ones that don’t require leader hoses are full face masks, but I have some facial hair and I’m not sure that will work. I appreciate if anyone could provide advice otherwise the unit will just become a very expensive paperweight. Thank you.

What mask are you using with it? I dont have that model, I have a Z1. But with a mask that puts the hose at the top of my head, It is unusable. With a front mounted hose it's only slightly louder than my home unit.
Thanks for the reply. I have the P10 nasal pillow head gear and also the airfit N20 mask. The N20 has slightly less noise but it’s still very loud.
I use a Resmed SwiftFX with my Z1. Similar design to the P10. I haven't used the Transcend so I don't know if it's louder or if you have more sensitive hearing.
Thank you.
Do you know what mask model you are using?
I don’t have that specific model of CPAP, but if you’re not already using a rubber mat (I got myself a 6x12 rubber bar mat) it can reduce your CPAPs noise further.
This isn’t going to “fix” this but it’s a cheap way of helping a little.
