This technique is called bronchophony, where the person is asked to say "ninety-nine" while the chest is being auscultated. Normally, the sound heard is muffled and indistinct. If the sound is clear and loud, it may indicate consolidation or fluid in the lungs. Egophony is where the person is asked to say "e" and it sounds like "a" when there is consolidation, and whispered pectoriloquy is where the person whispers and it can be heard loudly and clearly if there is consolidation. However, in this scenario, the only technique being used is bronchophony.
