Stridor is a high-pitched, harsh, crowing sound caused by obstruction in the trachea or larynx. Wheezes are whistling sounds caused by narrowed airways such as in asthma or COPD. Rales (or crackles) are clicking or bubbling sounds heard on inspiration caused by fluid in the lungs. Rhonchi are low-pitched snoring or rattling sounds caused by secretions in the airways.
