3. Amphoric breath sounds - breath sounds filtered through a large cavity. Occurs over pulmonectomy site, bullae.
4. Decreased (intensity) breath sounds - COPD, emphysema, atelectasis, CA, pleural effusion, pneumothorax.
5. Wheeze - inspiratory vs. expiratory vs. both. Monophonic (bronchial CA) vs. polyphonic (asthma, COPD).
