Lung Sounds Audio Page
Introduction
Welcome to our website's lung sounds audio page. There are several ways to listen to our lung sounds audio recordings. Our reference guide is designed to provide quick access to abnormal sounds, with summary listening tips, audio examples and waveforms. For a little more explanation, use our two lung auscultation courses. We also have Repetition Training pages for memorizing each type of lung sound audio. Finally, we have a new series of pulmonary problem solving cases.
Lung Sounds Defined
Lung sounds, also referred to as respiratory sounds or breath sounds, can be auscultated across the anterior and posterior chest walls with a stethoscope. This web site has over twenty adventitious lung sounds including crackles (rales), wheezes (rhonchi), stridor and pleural rubs as well as voiced sounds that include bronchophony, egophony and whispered pectoriloquy.
