Increased Breath Sounds- These are common abnormal findings with bronchial or bronchovesicular sounds which are louder or harsher and in peripheral lung tissue where vesicular sounds normally are. This can occur when the underlying lung tissue is filled with liquid or solid material rather than air. Decreased Breath Sounds- These sounds occur with airway disease or obstruction, diaphragm paralysis, or impairment of sound transmission through the chest wall. No sounds usually mean that no air is moving.
