Obstruction: you have an obstruction somewhere in your upper airway that is causing the noise. I don't know what your weight is, but obese people can have simple mechanicle obstruction, you could have enlarged tonsils, a nasal obstruction, etc. you need to be seen and evaluated by your physician and likely an ENT.
