If I pause while breathing, my cpap mask hums at me. I don't think it's intentional, just some function of a specific air pressure level causing resonance somewhere in the mask or near tubing (I suspect the thing I call an "exhale port" that allows my out-breaths to go out or something, idk: all I really know is that if the tube isn't at precisely the right position, I get warm humid exhale breath on my face). Maybe it's the exhale port complaining because the cpap-pushed air can't go into me if I close off air passages?

It's not enough to wake me, but if I'm awake and breathing in a certain pattern (in, out, pause) it's very noticeable. In, out, hum. In, out, hum.

I finally had to pull up a virtual keyboard to figure out what note it is. (F#, slightly under pitch.)

...I'm not a dork, what are you talking about... 😂

Good thing you don't have perfect pitch -- a constant flat hum would be super-annoying.

Whence the virtual keyboard?

This is why I love having music fans on my flist. People who do music are like magicians who have a mystical power I can only dream of! Complete with an arcane language and senses beyond my ken. It's so cool.

(I am an absolute musical dunce, they made me learn to play "Hot Cross Buns" on the recorder at school when I was nine and I never learned a single thing about music beyond that; I'm sorry to all the teachers who tried really hard to teach me How Music Works but only managed to get me to move my fingers correctly on the recorder holes.)
