START WITH WHAT YOU NOTICED
Your snoring sounds loud. Start by recording when it happens.
Find when you snored, see how the sound varied and replay retained audio—all for free. Use the phone already beside your bed, without another wearable. If you also want to inspect breathing patterns, your first complete breathing report is free.
Recorded loudness changes with phone distance, room noise, bedding, and microphone characteristics. Compare your own nights under similar conditions; do not map loudness to clinical severity.

- Replay and save retained snoring audio for free
Can loud snoring be an OSA symptom?
Yes, frequent loud snoring is one symptom listed by NHLBI, especially when it appears alongside breathing that starts and stops, gasping, or significant daytime sleepiness. But not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, and loudness alone does not establish diagnosis or severity.
If you also want to inspect your breathing
SomniSense, a sleep apnea detector app, tracks snore-like sounds and candidate breathing irregularities as separate evidence streams. A loud snoring night does not automatically have a higher BRI, and a quiet night cannot rule out candidate breathing patterns or a medical condition.
Open a possible pause or shallow-breathing mark in your breathing report. See its estimated time and duration, follow the waveform and hear available sound before and after it. Your first complete breathing report is free; later complete reports need Pro. Recording and analysis remain free.
If a partner noticed it
Use the recording to replace an argument with a shared reference: when the sound appeared, how the night varied, and which audio is available. The recording can support a conversation; it cannot settle a diagnosis.
When to look beyond the app
Repeated witnessed pauses, gasping, persistent daytime sleepiness, or other concerns deserve appropriate professional evaluation. PSG and HSAT have medical testing authority because they measure signals a bedside microphone does not.

Common questions
Does louder snoring mean more severe sleep apnea?
Not necessarily. Loudness and clinical sleep-apnea severity are not interchangeable, and phone position and room acoustics affect recorded loudness.
Can SomniSense tell where the snoring comes from?
No. Phone audio cannot confirm airway anatomy. Any acoustic pattern label is a model estimate, not an anatomical finding.
Can a quiet night rule out a breathing problem?
No. A quiet recording, no candidate events, or a low product index cannot rule out a medical condition.
Keep several nights of observations in one clear report.
Longer-period structured reports organize candidate acoustic events, trends, tags, sample coverage, method, and limits. Save one for your own review or share it as background for a conversation. Structured PDF summaries are available in the seven app languages. Content and page count depend on your plan and available observations.
Put your phone by your bed and review your own night after sleep.
Your first complete breathing report is free to view—and stays free to revisit.
