*Rales: Small clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs. They are heard when a person
*Rhonchi are coarse rattling respiratory sounds, usually caused by secretions in bronchial airways. The sounds resemble snoring. "Rhonchi" is the plural form of the singular word "rhonchus".
*Stridor: Wheeze-like sound heard when a person breathes. Usually it is due to a blockage of airflow in the windpipe (trachea) or in the back of the throat.<ref>{{
*Wheezing: High-pitched sounds produced by narrowed airways. They are most often heard when a person breathes out (exhales). Wheezing and other abnormal sounds can sometimes be heard without a stethoscope.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007535.htm | title=Breath sounds: Medline Plus | publisher=NIH | access-date=5 May 2015}}</ref>
==Other tests of auscultation==
[[File:Physical Exam - Stethoscope.jpg|thumb|A clinician auscultating the posterior lung of a patient.]][[Pectoriloquy]], [[egophony]] and [[bronchophony]] are tests of [[auscultation]] that utilize the phenomenon of [[vocal resonance]].<ref name=":02"

Several sources will also refer to "medium" crackles, as a crackling sound that seems to fall between the coarse and fine crackles. Crackles are defined as discrete sounds that last less than 250 ms, while the continuous sounds (rhonchi and wheezes) last approximately 250 ms. Rhonchi are usually caused by a stricture or blockage in the upper airway. These are different from [[stridor]].
