Modern views on the nature of breath sounds are enunciated. Bibliographic data about plausible reasons causing the basic and the complementary respiratory sounds are systematized. On basis of the spectral-time technique of analysis and visualization of complex sound signals a high potential of objectivization is demonstrated for a number of auscultatory signs. An attempt to classify different types of wheezes according to specifics of their spectral components is made. %8 2001-12-10
