I have sleep apnea also and have had 2 machines. My first one was noisy but the one I have now is relatively quiet. It just sounds like one of those white noise machines.

Unfortunately in most cases the only thing that will help sleep apnea is the machine. Losing weight will help a lot but having the machine is best.

Have you tried medicaid or the state sponsored insurance to get the machine? That is how I got my first machine.
