Crackles are the clicking, rattling, or crackling noises that may be made by one or both lungs of a human with a respiratory disease during inhalation, and occasionally during exhalation. They are usually heard only with a stethoscope ("on auscultation"). Pulmonary crackles are abnormal breath sounds that were formerly referred to as rales. [2]
Respiratory sounds, also known as lung sounds or breath sounds, are the specific sounds generated by the movement of air through the respiratory system. [1] These may be easily audible or identified through auscultation of the respiratory system through the lung fields with a stethoscope as well as from the spectral characteristics of lung sounds.

Upsweep is an unidentified sound detected on the American NOAA's equatorial autonomous hydrophone arrays. This sound was present when the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory began recording its sound surveillance system, SOSUS, in August 1991. It consists of a long train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds in duration each.

In speech recording, click noises (not to be confused with click consonants) result from tongue movements, swallowing, mouth and saliva noises. [8] While in voice-over recordings, click noises are undesirable, they can be used as a sound effect of close-miking in ASMR and pop music, e.g. in Bad Guy (2019) by Billie Eilish .
Vocal fry is also used in metal music, usually in combination with air from the diaphragm, [citation needed] in order to create a "growl" or "scream", which sounds aggressive and harsh. [22] The chief use of the vocal fry register in singing is to obtain pitches of very low frequency, which are not available to the singer in the modal register.
Implosive consonants are a group of stop consonants (and possibly also some affricates) with a mixed glottalic ingressive and pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism. [1] That is, the airstream is controlled by moving the glottis downward in addition to expelling air from the lungs.
Its concept is similar to that of the slider chest, except that the mechanisms for admitting wind to each note and activating each stop are reversed. In a cone valve chest, the windchest is divided into 'stop channels' instead of key channels. Each stop channel admits wind to all the pipes in a rank when the corresponding stop is activated.
