snuffling
Wet nose sounds
Snuffling is breathing noisily through a partially blocked nose, or the sound of such breathing.
Dogs snuffle when investigating scents; babies snuffle when congested.
The word suggests repeated, audible inhalations: The pig went snuffling through the underbrush.
A snuffling sound conveys vulnerability or illness: She could hear the child's snuffling from the next room.
