The lung sounds known as rhonchi can be recalled by the lungs with his stethoscope hearing a rattle. This abnormal sound is heard by auscultation over the trachea and bronchi, shown by the trachea and broccoli. Rhonchi resemble a low pitched rumbling or snoring sound, shown by the low pitched bass-drum. Some many describe it like a gurgling sound, shown by the gurgling-gargoyle, that is loudest during expiration. Rhonchi are caused by a narrowed airway, shown literally, and most often occur as a result of increased&nbsp;secretions or bronchospasms, the secretions and broccoli-spaceship.&nbsp; So to summarize, the lung sound rhonchi are heard over the trachea and bronchi and are often described as a low pitched rumbling that may sound like gurgling. It occurs due to a narrowed airway often as the result of secretions or bronchospasm.&nbsp;

A pair of Lungs with a Stethoscope was just minding his own business one day shaking his rattle when all of the sudden a beam of light came down onto him. The light began to beam him up, like Scotty, into a spaceship. He was abducted! Within the spaceship, the lungs were terror-stricken as a&nbsp;Trachea Broccoli&nbsp;like alien life form that inched closer and closer to him like he was about to perform some freaky experiment on him. And everyone knows, the aliens always go for the butt. Even worse, he had a Low Pitched bass-drum roll beating to make the experience all the more intense. &nbsp;It was being played by a Gurgling-gargoyle, what an ominous sound. Luckily they hit a Narrowed Airway and their Broccoli-spaceship and crashed open and Secretions began to pour out. That&rsquo;s when Lungs had made his escape.
