"Sorry Dave, but missed your post. Was your sleep study done by an NHS sleep clinic or privately, as the first place for help would really be best from the sleep consultant who did your initial sleep study and can view the data on your CPAP?"

"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"

"No personal experience, but CPAP.com review of AirMini
The AirMini runs at about 30 decibels, which is about the same sound level as a whispered conversation. For comparison, full-sized CPAPs tend to run around 26-28 decibels. Due to their…"
