Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping . In some cases the sound may be soft, but in other cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
