The piece of tissue that hangs from the back of the throat is called the uvula. Individuals with a large or longer than average uvula can suffer from snoring when the uvula vibrates in the airway.

Can getting your tonsils removed cause you to snore?

Yes it can! - If you have your tonsils out and your adenoids and uvula remain, the new air flow pattern can cause "snoring". The adenoids and uvula could have been supported by the large tonsil structure that is no more and together with your enlarged airway can cause new oscillations. Consult your physician and ask for a referral to an "ENT" (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist that they would recommend.
