Structural reasons like the shape of one’s nose or jaw can also cause snoring. The snoring sound itself is a result of the narrowing of a person’s airway, which causes a throat vibration and the snoring sound.
Things that make you snoring more likely include being overweight, being a man, growing older, alcohol, medications and hormonal changes.
