Almost everyone can pretty much recognize snoring from the first sound given off. It is basically a rough sound caused by breathing through the nose in a certain manner. It then causes a vibration of the soft palate. The noise created is because there is an irregular passage of air at places in the mouth where there may be partial obstruction of breathing. The sound of snoring may vary from soft to loud, but is oftentimes irritating to anybody kept awake because of it.
Snoring is not a big problem for most people. As a matter of fact, most people snore occasionally. People usually think males snore more than females do, but it can happen to anyone. Young, old, male, female... Literally anyone could be snoring and not even know it. It is believed though that men and overweight people tend to snore more often. In children, and other people, adenoids may cause snoring as well.
Snoring may be caused by other factors. For instance, while sleeping, a partial relaxation of the muscles that hold the vocal cords can happen, so they end up going close together and obstruct air passage.
Snoring may also happen when a person lies on his back in a deep sleep or when unconscious. Sometimes, the tongue may fall back and partially closes the opening where air passes. This is the same cause of "stertor," or the noisy breathing that usually happens in apoplexy and concussions.
Yet another cause of snoring is mucus accumulation. Sometimes, it may collect in the nose or in the passages behind it, most likely because of an inflammation or irritation. It could also happen if the muscles of the nose and throat are abnormally tense, they can also interfere with air passing out. If the nose is blocked and the lips are very tight together, a whistling sound comes out as the air passes out.
Snoring is not that big of a deal. It rarely disturbs the person who snores. However, it can, as previously mentioned, annoy whoever else is awake. Often, the snorer will stop if he has changed sleeping positions.
