Each sound can be repeated until it has 249 been learned. Our quizzes provide an additional way to learn to listen to each important lung sound. 250 </p> 251 <h2>Where to Auscultate for Lung Sounds</h2> 252 <p> 253 Each lung sound lesson includes an illustration for were to position your stethoscope. 254 Look for a thoracic diagram of auscultation sites within each lesson. 255 </p> 256 257 258 259 260 261 <h2>Definition of Lung Sounds</h2> 262 <p><strong>Lung sounds</strong>, also called breath sounds, can be auscultated across the anterior and posterior 263 chest walls with a stethoscope. Adventitious lung sounds are referenced by terms such as crackles (rales), wheezes (rhonchi),
264 stridor and pleural rubs as well as voiced sounds that include egophony, bronchophony and whispered pectoriloquy. 265 Descriptions and audio recordings for all pulmonary audio sounds are available on this website. 266 </p> 267 <p> 268 Normal breath sounds include bronchial, vesicular, or bronchovesicular sounds. These sounds, as presented in our lessons and guides, 269 have differing sound characteristics, depending upon the anotomical auscultation location. Adventitious sounds are abnormal sounds 270 that include crackles, rhonchi, wheezes, stridor and rubs. 271 </p> 272 <h2>Lung Sounds Audio Characteristics</h2> 273 <p> 274 Lung sounds have several features that help characterize the sounds. 275 </p> 276 <ul><li>Sound pitch</li> 277 <li>Musicality</li> 278 <li>Timing within a breath cycle (inspiration or expiration)</li> 279 <li>Location on the chest wall</li> 280 <li>Sound intensity (loudness)</li></ul> 281 282 <br> 283 284 285 286 287 <h2>Additional Topics</h2> 288 <p style="max-width: 500px"> 289 Some users prefer to use these quick links to concise information and audio recordings for both normal and adventitious sounds. 290 </p> 291 <div class="adDiv" style="margin: 5px 0 5px 5px; max-height:250px; overflow:hidden"><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__300x250 __970x250" id="easyauscultation_incontent_superflex_1"></div></div> 292 <div style="margin-left: 25px; max-width: 300px; line-height: 2.5em"><a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/stridor">Stridor</a><br> 293 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/vesicular-breath-sounds">Vesicular Breath Sounds</a><br> 294 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/bronchial-breath-sounds">Bronchial Breath Sounds</a><br> 295 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/adventitious-breath-sounds">Adventitious Breath Sounds</a><br> 296 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/adventitious-lung-sounds">Adventitious Lung Sounds</a><br> 297 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/wheezing">Wheezing</a><br> 298 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/expiratory-wheeze">Expiratory Wheeze</a><br> 299 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/rhonchi-lung-sounds">Rhonchi</a><br> 300 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/crackles-lung-sounds">Fine and Coarse Crackles</a><br> 301 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/wheezing-sound">Wheezing Sound</a><br> 302 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/wheeze">Wheeze</a><br> 303 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/lung-sounds">Breath Sounds</a><br> 304 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/rales-lung-sounds">Rales</a><br> 305 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/egophony">Egophony</a><br> 306 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/auscultate">Auscultate</a><br> 307 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/auscultation">Auscultation</a><br> 308 <a style="font-size: medium; font-weight: bold" href="/lung-sounds">Respiratory Sounds</a><br></div></div></div> 309 310 <div class="row"><div class="col-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8 mt-5"><h2>Authors and Reviewers</h2> 311 Author: <a href="/profile-wf">William French,</a> 312 Author: <a href="/profile-dw">Diane Wrigley, PA,</a> 313 Author: <a href="/profile-jk">Jon Keroes, MD</a> and David Lieberman.<br> 314 Medical review by <a href="/profile-bae">
