Types and Causes of Snoring
By Liji Thomas, MD
Snoring refers to the snorting or rattling noise made by an individual during breathing associated with sleep. It is produced by the vibration of the soft palate and other soft tissues in the mouth, nose or throat. Snoring can be soft and infrequent, or loud and frequent, varying with the individual. Snoring can be graded based upon specific features, and snoring severity increases with the grade.
