Fine crackles are high-pitched, fine, short, interrupted crackling sounds heard during the end of inspiration; they usually are not cleared with coughing. Rhonchi are loud, low-pitched, rumbling, coarse sounds heard most often during inspiration or expiration that may be cleared by coughing. Wheezes are high-pitched, continuous, musical sounds like a squeak heard continuously during inspiration or expiration; they are usually louder on expiration and do not clear with coughing. Pleural friction rub has a dry, grating quality heard best during inspiration; it does not clear with coughing and is heard loudest over the lower lateral anterior surface. |
