Expert Solution
Step 1
A bubbling or crackling sound emanating from the base of the lungs is known as bibasilar crackle. When the lungs inflate or deflate, they might cause these symptoms. They're usually short and have a wet or dry sound to them.
These sounds are caused by excess fluid in the airways. Symptoms like breath shortness, coughing, and wheezing can be observed in this condition.
