Anyone find the sound of a breathing device (Cpak...?) as creepy as I do?

My upstairs roommate sleeps with this breathing device and it makes this horror movie sound effect...very creepy. When I first moved in, I'd awaken in the night and hear this sound and have anxiety attacks. It took me weeks to figure out what it is.

The device is in fact CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). It keeps the alveoli from collapsing during expiration. And I've always wondered how anyone could possibly sleep with that device strapped to his face.

takes some getting used to but it's better than increasing the odds of dying in your sleep
