What is snoring?
“Snoring” is essentially the noise that results from resistance in the upper airway. Although some people assume that snoring originates from the nose, it actually comes from the upper airway, where the air encounters an obstruction and generates a sound as it passes through. This sound is produced due to the vibration of the surrounding tissues, commonly referred to as snoring.
