To avoid the volume of air exiting the exhaust at the top of the P30i frame I have discovered a successful strategy is to use a rubber band and a disposable filter designed for the CPAP machine to cover the round exhaust hole area. I rubber band at the connection site of the tube from the machine and leave the other side un bound. This serves to not to block the exhaust but rather just disperse the exhaust air in such away as to eliminate the sound and rebound from the rush of air and not disturb my wife. Have been doing this for four years with no discernible effects upon volume of sleep, mask set or number of events per hour. Btw, thanks for this very well researched and explained video.

Sleep well.. that should be your sign off. Great to see a test that is often overlooked when I first started looking masks. Great job as usual. Thank you.

Thanks Paul!

While my AirFit N30 QuietAir is very quiet, it does get noisy from residual water left in the diffuser after washing it. Blowing the water out makes it quiet again. With hard water, drying the diffuser clocks it up after a while. To be clear: this ist still the best mask I ever had.

I’m fairly new to CPAP (6 months) and started with an N30. Pretty good, but I know the strong air stream sometimes hit my husband. After 4 months I decided to try the N30 cradle. A little weird to get used to after having used a mask that goes OVER the nose. But after a few nights I was very happy and it’s much better for my partner as well…no blowing on him and usually whisper quiet.

Thankyou. Very helpful. Even better if you were to do the full face (incl hybrids) as well at some later stage.

[@thecpapstore]

Will work on that next!

@@thecpapstore Great work. And I’ll keep an eye out should you do the same full full face masks. Many thanks.

I just got 2 days ago the N30i , switched from Lowenstein Cara Nasal ( which was quite silent but air was blowing in my eyes ) , and this N30i is very loud, there is whistling when I inhale and exhale like I never heard before, and they were supposed to be silent...

[@thecpapstore]

Hollow frame masks are always the loudest for the user. But not sure about the whistling, where is it coming from?

[@Pistols4]

@@thecpapstore Inside the cradle when I inhale and exhale, its a whistling combined with air flow sounds, hard to describe, all I know its loud, much louder than a Lowenstein Cara mask which is not supposed to be silent

[@kaoskult666]

Yep, you can hear yourself breath in stereo. I absolutely hated that mask. Got the P10 mask now and its so much better!

[@cameratrapper]

you should have set distance for recording sound. Doesnt look that way to me,
