I don’t find my machine all that noisy really and the nose pillows are pretty quiet as well. The rest of the masks I do find quite a bit noisier though. But what really drives me nuts about them is the air that comes out of the vents. It always seems to blow on my arms. Fan or white noise generator help to cover up the machine noise.

I honestly hate the CPAP machine but it will keep you alive and improve the quality of your life. I think you just need to stick with it and work on clearing your head as I know even after 4 or 5 years it still gets into mine. I do find the nose pillows or the under nose mask the best. I love the under nose pillow for how they breathe but they are a little noisy and that damn air blowing out drives me nuts.
