Many causes: It may be helpful to record the sound and to have your pediatrician evaluate him. Snoring, nighttime cough/wheezing/stridor are some possible causes. Some of the tests to consider include a pulse oximetry and/or a sleep test. If he has a history of asthma/allergies there are multiple treatment options available.
