<p>4 is a bit low, machines are usually set a bit higher than this, the nearer it is to the pressure you require the better treatment usually is, I say usually as there can be other things creep in, but I would have thought it should be at 8 at least, though when it starts it will start at 4 and quickly move up to its low setting.</p>
<p>I have moved my low pressure up and I find it is a lot better with the low pressure nearer the normal working pressure.</p>

<p>However, I think there might be a fault with your machine as when I get up and restart my machine it just starts the same as when it did first thing at night. If it is annoying ask the clinic to look at it, they will usually change it and swap over your data card.</p> You're doing great in these e…tag:hope2sleepguide.co.uk,2018-02-04:6381638:Comment:566832018-02-04T22:25:27.773ZKath Hopehttp://hope2sleepguide.co.uk/profile/KathHope
<p>You're doing great in these early days Bob. I've never heard of a difference in noise when re-starting the machines with ramps, and I'm sure if it was common we'd have heard this before - especially in the Facebook Group with over 5,000 members. Mention it to your clinic on Tuesday, and also tell them about the mouth breathing so they can consider a different mask or a chin strap.</p>

<p>hi there I assume when you say ramping up I would know it as the pressure building up , the hospital have set the machine for me so I have not messed with it starting at 4 increasing to 12. I mean if this is quite normal I guess I will have to get used to it over time, it's more of a nuisance than a problem. trying to keep the mask on all night is the problem seven hours is all I can manage at the moment, but it's still only a week so maybe I am being a bit hard on myself. however thanks for…</p>

<p>Sounds like the motor is being pulsed up slowly to speed again.</p>
<p>If you have a Ramp turned on try turning it off just to see what happens.</p>
<p>It might not be noticeably when the machine is cold, but after being hot the motor might be slightly more noisy when stepping up to speed.</p>

<p><strong>The hospital will normally supply a chin strap.</strong></p>

<p>Ah yes I thought that's what you meant. It definitely doesn't happen to me. Try unplugging everything and if that doesn't clear it then definitely let the hospital know.</p>
<p>It sounds like you mouth breathe during the night so a chin strap may help. They don't work well for everyone though (me included) so maybe it would be worth considering a full face mask and there are smaller versions of these out now which are quite minimalistic.

<p>hi Kath </p>
<p> I switch it off at the power button which means it is in stand bye mode, then when I press the button again it starts up the pump. even my wife can hear the pulsed humming sound which seems to disappear after it has got back up to my prescription of 12. it does not do it when I first go to bed even though it has been in stand bye all day. as understand it when the machine is plugged in to the wall socket and switched on it is either working or in stand bye but it is always…</p>

<p>When you say standby Bob, do you mean you switch it off with the power button? I use a VPAP (which is in the same series as the S9) but haven't noticed this. Try taking the plug out of the wall and out of the back of the machine which should clear anything if it's a temporary issue.</p>
