Nasal snoring is where the snoring sound comes from the membranes in the nose. When air goes through the nose, conditions in it cause vibrations that create snoring noise.
Other Causes
Structures in the nose can stick together in the breathing pathway and cause vibrations. Some people have a condition where the sides of the nose can collapse causing snoring.
Seven strategies you can do at home to clear nasal congestion
