When a patient is having an Asthma attack, I listen for crackles(a sample of a crackle is like rubbing your hair together near your ear), I listen for wheezes(sounds like a broken rusty whistle) these two sounds will mean something is going on in the lungs either fluid that is not suppose to be there or maybe mucus in the lungs.
