Loud Snoring

Q: What is loud snoring?

Loud snoring describes audible breathing sounds during sleep caused by turbulent airflow through a partially obstructed upper airway — the vibration of soft tissue structures in the throat, soft palate, and uvula producing the characteristic sound. It affects up to 40% of adults, increasing with age, weight, alcohol consumption, and nasal congestion. While often viewed as merely socially disruptive, loud snoring is clinically significant because it frequently accompanies obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) — where the upper airway partially or fully collapses, causing breathing pauses, oxygen desaturation, and sleep fragmentation.
