Abstract:
According to the results of theoretical and experimental analysis of the characteristics of the propagation of acoustic vibrations in the respiratory system, it is necessary to determine the resonant frequency of the respiratory tract to increase the vital capacity of the lungs by opening reserve alveoli by acoustic stimulation of the respiratory system and then to affect the respiratory system with scanning tonal sounds in the maximum sound absorption range (at a level of ±3 dB of the maximum absorption coefficient value).

Breath sounds are categorized into vesicular, bronchovesicular, and bronchial.
Sound Waves
Sound waves are longitudinal in most fluids because fluids cannot sustain any lateral pressure. In solids, however, shear forces help in propagating the disturbance in the lateral direction as well....
