Snoring (or stertor, ) is an abnormal breath sound caused by partially obstructed, turbulent airflow and vibration of tissues in the upper respiratory tract (e.g., uvula, soft palate, base of tongue) which occurs during sleep. It usually happens during inhalations (breathing in).
Snoring is a sound that occurs during sleep when air flows turbulently through a partially blocked upper airway, causing tissues like the soft palate and uvula to vibrate. It typically happens when you breathe in and can indicate that airflow through your respiratory tract is being partially obstructed.
