Breath Sounds A small collection of recordings (.wav) of various pulmonary sounds, including the infamous "death rattle".
heh! They made us listen to those sound recordings when I was in nursing school. My favorite breath sound is inspiratory rales with an end-expiratory polyphonic wheeze. I find myself nodding to the beat and wanting to scat (NOT the poop kind!).
Death rattles come in many keys, moonbird. Unmistakeable, though, once you hear it.
