what lung sound is depicted as rubbing or chewing on a balloon or a dry, crackling sound heard during inspiration and exhalation?
A. crackle

B. pleural friction rub
"I equate the sound of a pleural friction rub to the sound of rubbing or chewing on a balloon. Since this adventitious lung sound is heard when the inflamed pleural sack rubs against the rib cage, it can be heard with every inspiration. You may hear this sound when the pleural sack is inflamed during expiration, Crackles, on the other hand, occur when infiltrates settle in the lung fields. What we hear are alveoli popping (like cracking your knuckles) when they are filled with air. Therefore, crackles are most often heard during inspiration. " - Dr. Garavito
