Harsh, High-pitched, Loud - You can hear bronchial sounds above the manubrium, over the trachea. Bronchial Sounds are: Medium in loudness, medium in pitch - Bronchiovesicular sounds are heard over the main bronchi. These sounds are: Softest, lowest in pitch - vesicular sounds are over the lower bronchi, the bronchioles, and the lobes. The left lung has two lobes. The right lung has three lobes. Right lung - 3 lobes: Vesicular Right Superior, Vesicular Right Middle,Vesicular Right Inferior. Left lung - 2 lobes: Vesicular Left Superior & Vesicular Left Inferior Abnormal lung sounds - Diminished or absent breath sounds, increased breath sounds, & adventitious sounds. Decreased Breath Sounds - Normal lungs sounds are usually easy to hear with a stethoscope. Occasionally you will hear sounds that are decreased in intensity, or even absent. Decreased breaths sounds occur in airway disease or obstruction, diaphragm paralysis, or impairment of sound transmission through the chest wall. Worsening symptoms may lead to absent breath sounds. Absent lung sounds usually indicate that no air is moving in the lung tissue. Increased Breath Sounds - A common abnormal finding is hearing bronchial or bronchiovesicular sounds, which are louder and harsher, in peripheral lung tissue where vesicular sounds are normally heard. This occurs when underlying lung tissue is filled with liquid or solid material, rather than air. Adventitious Sounds - When you auscultate, you might hear abnormal sounds in addition to the normal lung sounds. These additional abnormal sounds are called adventi
