So what do lungs sound like??? I don't think I spent much time on this one before. But there is a wonderful site at UCDavis that plays lung sounds for our edification and entertainment and for educational purposes as well I suppose. I listened to the "crackles" sounds - crackles, grackles, grook...
What are crackles? Crackles, AKA rales, are the sounds the lungs make when there is excessive fluid in the airways. This is one of my symptoms, hence, the interest.
Here is a sampling of some of my favorites:
just normal vesicular sounds
normal bronchovesicular sounds
fine crackles
fine late-inspiratory crackles
medium crackles
