*Rales: Small clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs. They are heard when a person breathes inhales. They are believed to occur when air opens alveoli. Rales can also be described as moist, dry, fine, and coarse.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Breath sounds: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia |url=https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/007535.htm |access-date=2022-05-30 |website=medlineplus.gov |language=en}}</ref>.
*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".<ref>{{Citation |last=McGann |first=Kathleen A. |title=21 - Respiratory Tract Symptom Complexes |date=2018-01-01 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780323401814000219 |work=Principles and Practice of Pediatric Infectious Diseases (Fifth Edition) |pages=164–172.e2 |editor-last=Long |editor-first=Sarah S. |publisher=Elsevier |language=en |isbn=978-0-323-40181-4 |access-date=2022-05-06 |last2=Long |first2=Sarah S. |editor2-last=Prober |editor2-first=Charles G. |editor3-last=Fischer |editor3-first=Marc}}</ref>
*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>{{Cite web |title=Stridor: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia |url=https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003074.htm |access-date=2022-05-30 |website=medlineplus.gov |language=en}}</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>
