nasal pillows [whistle] - confusedcpap - 10-31-2017
I just switched to nasal pillow and when I exhale, there is like a "whistling" noise.
Any suggestions?

A lot of times whistling comes from moisture in the mask vents. You might want to try turning down your humidifier or increasing hose temperature if you have a heated hose.

You might also check the tightness of the head straps.

Any recommendations? I am at 4 right now.

Can you tell if the whistle is coming from between the nasal pillow and your nose, or is it a leak between the pillow and the mask attachment or is it coming from the mask's exhaust vents?

If it is moisture you'll have to play with the settings. I was getting moisture in the P10 mask vents with the auto setting. This would happen on cool nights and would cause the mask to whistle. I'm currently running humidity 3 hose temp 82 and having no problem.
