B

Wheezes are high-pitched sounds; in this case, they are heard during the inspiratory phase of the respiratory cycle. Abnormal breath sounds are bronchial or bronchovesicular sounds heard in the peripheral lung fields. Crackles are low-pitched, “bubbling’ sounds. Pleural friction rubs are grating sounds that are usually heard during both inspiration and expiration.
