Hi...By what you quote I put forth this possibility -

Congenital airway anomaly - this causes noisy breathing (both inspiratory and expiratory noise, actually inspiratory will be more than expiratory noise). But the child will not struggle to breath and there will not be fast breathing and in-drawing of chest wall. The sound will be more heard during sleeping and feeding.

This is due to softness of tissues on the airway.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
