What could cause someone to make loud snoring noises sporadically when they are awake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Snoring: Snoring means that the airways in nasal passages, throat are not widely open there is turbulence of air which cause soft tissue to vibrate and make noises or snoring. I doubt that anybody snore when they are awake, but dozing off which is short transient sleep might happen, then patient snores, wakes up rapidly and can hear him or herself, snoring.
