I gave up after that and will give it another go tonight.
Any advice from anyone who has worked this all out would be appreciated
My husband and I both sleep with a C-Pap machine. I fixed the "zipping" sound by making a sleeve out of flannel for the hoses. I made a casing with elastic for both ends. It has really cut down on the noise. The sleeves also keep the hoses from making so much condensation from the humidifier on our machines. Now we don't get a "snoot full" of water up our noses. The C-Pap does take some getting used to, but it is well worth it. I hope it doesn't take you long to adjust.
