snore
Nocturnal nasal racket
A snore is the rough, rattling sound some people make while sleeping, caused by vibration of soft tissue in the throat.
To snore is to make this sound: He snores so loudly I can hear him through the wall.
Figuratively, a snore is something boring enough to put you to sleep: The movie was a total snore.
