How do you know if you snore or not?

Ask your bed partner about your snoring.

Ask your bed partner to tell you if your snoring seems consistent or intermittent and how loud it is. Gasping or choking sounds are a definite red flag. Establishing snoring patterns will provide you with helpful information that can be shared with your physician.

What do I sound like when I snore?

As you breathe in at night through your narrowed nasal passage, the soft tissues and the mucosal wall surface vibrates and makes sounds. Your snoring may sound soft and more nasally, like a whistle, or on the loud side, like a grunt or rumble.

Does snoring change your voice?

The most common vocal symptom in the snoring group was hoarseness, which occurred in 11 patients (36.7%); voice weakness and other voice quality changes were present in 8 snorers each (26.7%).

Is snoring loud or soft sound?

Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe. Nearly everyone snores now and then, but for some people it can be a chronic problem. Sometimes it may also indicate a serious health condition.
