Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hollow noises, heard over a large cavity. The sound is said to be like the noise of air passing over the top of a hollow jar. Muffled breath sounds as a result of pleural effusion, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease collapse, pneumothorax or a mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bronchial lung sounds are normal lung sounds heard over the center chest/sternum on inspiration and expiration. They are characterized by the loud, hollow, tubular, high-pitched sound of air passing through the windpipe without obstruction. They should sound roughly the same on inspiration as they do on expiration.
