Not always true: Snoring is the rumbling of turbulent airflow over offending structures in the nasal, oral and hypopharyngeal (throat) cavities. Whoever ( men or women) has the bigger or floppier offending obstructive structures (such as the tonsils, palate, uvula, tongue or throat walls will have the most snoring.

Snoring Loudly: Men and women snore equally, the condition does not discriminate based upon gender. The bigger we get, the more we snore. Anything that leads to stuffy nose, soft palate swelling, tonsil enlargement, tongue enlargement, and bigger neck circumference lead to snoring.
