Most people do.
Many years ago my wife told me I snored.
She said it was as loud as a Lion!
I said... "Impossible"
Now, I do recall snoring once so loudly that I woke myself up.
It was the time I was getting massage therapy (on my back) after a car accident. They put you face-down on a padded table with an oval opening for your face to poke through.
Naturally, the padding pushes your cheeks, closes your nostrils makes your sinus drain and makes you drool uncontrollably.
Yes... too much information. (sorry)
Last night I was moving some bills in my office and found my Olympus digital recorder.
Hey.. (I thought) I could record myself sleeping to see if I really snore.
So, I set the recorder on slow and placed it on the table near my pillow.
When I got to work I downloaded the .wav file to my computer.
After everyone left, I listened to the recording while I'm here late doing some estimates... and blogging.
Well, there was the typical rustling of me trying to get comfortable.
Temperatures in Miami are back to normal (70 degrees outside) and I had the window open.
The first hour had no special noises then all of a sudden the Police helicopter began circling the neighborhood.
This went on for 20 or 30 minutes.
Every few minutes, I would advance the recorder listen and advance it again a few minutes.
I would estimate around 3am someone came into my bedroom with a rocking chair... or maybe they were pulling nails from 2x4's I couldn't really tell.
It was no where near the volume of the helicopter.
Maybe an hour later was this BLASTING horn... oh, it was the morning train about 2 miles away. Somewhere in the middle of all this I managed to recognize the snoring. It went on musically like a symphony... crescendo and decrescendo to be exact. Occasionally a sea otter joined in the music, but I think most of it was me.
Things got quiet for more than an hour and then I began to hear jets from the Miami International Airport 10 miles away making their Northerly turn up the coast.
They were nearly as loud as the helicopter... but my snoring couldn't compare.
I'm sure.
My 2 alarm clocks went off at 5:15 and 5:30... and I alternated between the snooze bar on each of them until 6:00. That's when I cut off the recorder and began my day.

My ex told me I snored and had me sleep on the sofa, that was all good, she wasn't into sex any way  
Well, I went to a sleep specialist to be sure I didn't have sleep apnea...I was set up with a machine to record my snoring......nope, no snoring 
Now that I am divorced I have asked women I have slept with if I snored, they have all said no or that I did but it was quiet.
Just one more thing my ex lied to me about

My mom says that when I spend the night at her house , it's like a stereo in there.. My Pop is in their bedroom on one side of the living room, and I am in the bedroom on the other side of the living room the living room. When one of us stops snoring, she checks to see if we are still breathing..  Sad to say, but this has been a problem since I had the brain surgery and wound up with a serious deviated septum..
damn.. now I'll never get a man in my bedroom

It's interesting that what is a 'cute little snore' at the beginning of a relationship becomes a 'you're out to drive me nuts' complaint as the infatuation wanes.
It went on musically like a symphony... crescendo and decrescendo to be exact. Great description!
