EDITOR'S PICK

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 rather loud and quite unpleasant. Generally speaking, the structures involved are the uvula and soft palate. The irregular airflow is caused by a passageway blockage and usually due to one of the following:

Throat weakness, causing the throat to close during sleep
Fat gathering in and around the throat
Obstruction in the nasal passageway

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoring

ROBERT ANDERSON, M.D., REPLIES: Snoring is extremely common. It results from taking in air through your nose and mouth at the same time, causing the soft palate in the roof of your mouth to vibrate. I assume your husband has been checked for sleep apnea, a severe form of snoring that can choke off his air intake. Because sleep apnea can be fatal, doctors sometimes recommend surgery to tighten the soft palate so it doesn't vibrate.

The harsh breathing sounds (which can be very loud) coming from the sleeping person can not only be annoying, they can also prevent sleep for the person that is in hearing range as well as the person who is snoring.
