Loud snoring: It could be allergies, or enlarged tonsils and adenoids, but something is obviously interfering with her airway. Without any other history my best recommendation would be to have her checked by her pediatrician and perhaps and ENT physician.

Many causes: Snoring can be caused by obstruction to airflow while sleeping and/or by central nervous system problems. In her age group, if she is otherwise well, enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids, is one of the leading causes of snoring. A sleep questionnaire and examination of her nasal passages, mouth and cardio-pulmonary systems is a good start.
