Are over-the-head tubing masks loud when used with travel CPAP machines?Updated 12 days ago

Yes—masks with tubing that routes over the head, like the ResMed F30i, P30i, N30i, and the Philips DreamWear line, tend to produce more noise when paired with travel CPAPs (like the AirMini or Z2).

This happens because travel CPAPs use smaller motors and different airflow dynamics, which can create a louder experience when air travels through the top-of-head tube design.

If quiet operation is a priority when using a travel CPAP, you might consider a more traditional mask style with front-facing tubing.
