Hello user,
You are advised to have first of all thorough ENT examinations of your mother, to rule out any mass lesion in throat, which might be causing the weird sound by her during night.
You can also use some behavioral therapy like wake her up when she starts noise, do it for 4-5 times, then she might stop creating noises.
You can also try sleep medicines, but with caution, and with prior consult from a physician, to let her go in nice sleep.
Hope my advise helped you.
