Rhonchi are heard predominantly on expiration over the trachea and bronchi as a continuous low-pitched musical sound. Crackles are heard predominantly on inspiration as a dry high-pitched crackling or popping sound of short duration. Wheezes are hear predominantly on expiration all over the lungs as a continuous low-pitched snoring or high-pitched musical sound. Stridor is heard predominantly on inspiration as a continuous crowing sound.
