I'm more concerned if it bothers your sleeping partner.

My partner uses a CPAP machine (possibly not a "modern" one... it's 3-4 years old I believe). It's tolerable, but not great.

Cuddling is not really possible once the machine is on. It makes some noise which I've mostly adjusted to, but sometimes it gets significantly louder for a while, waking me up or keeping me awake unless I put earplugs in. Occasionally it blows air on me (not sure if the mask is leaking or what), and I have to rearrange blankets to block it before I can get back to sleep.

Every mask I've ever used automatically vented air by design. (Which yes, is really awful WRT cuddling.)

My SO won’t sleep in the same room as me without my CPAP.

Modern machines are very quiet. My wife says it doesn't bother her at all.

And even if the machine made any noise, my snore is louder. :)

My wife loves mine. Makes me stop snoring. She doesn't like the comfortable masks because they leak more (which makes a rushing noise).

She'll wake me up and make me wear it if I don't.
