Most people have no idea what they sound like at night. Here are the three sounds worth knowing about—and how to catch them.
Snoring is the vibration of soft tissue in your airway. It gets louder when you sleep on your back, after alcohol, or when your nose is blocked. Occasional snoring is normal; what matters is the pattern across nights, which is why tracker apps show trends instead of a single night.
Sleep talking is more common than people think—it can happen in any sleep stage, from mumbled words to full sentences. It is harmless, often funny, and usually forgotten by morning. Recording it is the only way to actually hear it.
Coughs at night can come from a dry throat, dust, or a lingering cold. Compared with snores they are short and sharp, which makes them easy to separate with sound analysis.
A quiet bedroom microphone plus on-device classification is enough: you review a few short clips in the morning instead of hours of raw audio.
How do I know if I snore? Run a tracker beside your bed and replay the clips in the morning—memory is not reliable here.
Is snoring dangerous? Simple snoring is common and usually harmless. If you notice breathing pauses or heavy daytime sleepiness, talk to a doctor. A tracker is wellness information, not a diagnosis.
Go Sleep records likely snores, sleep talking, and coughs privately—only the moments that matter.
