The noise level is much better now. My older one was a bit noisy but this one isn't. In fact, last year when my mom came to visit she slept in my bed since I have a king size bad and no partner

.
Apparently she had been telling my sister that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep with my machine going.
So we get into bed, I put the mask on and start it up. I usually fall asleep really fast, so I'm just about out and my mom says "so when are you going to turn the machine on?".
LOL apparently it is alot quieter!
Tranquility
