Thanks lubby and others who have suggested this, but my husband is not overweight. In fact, he is athletic, (jogs, walks, excercises regularly at the gym, and was a former marathon runner,) plus he eats a healthy diet - no red meats, but other meats for protein especially fish, veggies, and very few starches, so I don't think obeseity is the reason for his snoring.
Actually I am the one with poor eating habits and it landed me a week in the hospital recently for complications due to my diabetes which runs strong in both sides of my family's genes. You'd think I would have learned after all these years but noooo, so now I have to poke myself with a sharp object more than three times day.
He could still have sleep apnea even if he has none of the typical risk factors. Sleep apnea is a very dangerous condition -- it greatly increases the risk of strokes. Please have him tested!
And I can tell you from personal experience -- the CPAP machines are NOT loud at all. The one I have is almost completely silent.
I'd have your husband checked out by a ear nose and throat doctor. My wife snored loudly. She went in for another problem and found she had nasal polyps. She had them removed and that helped with the snoring.
I wish we had gotten a second opinion before my wife had her polyps removed. She snores louder than ever, now. Not to say it wouldn't work on someone else, but it only made her's worse. She uses Nasonex at night, now and that helps.

You know I've heard that alot. I am sorry your wife had to go through that for no reason. My stepdaughter went through something similar. I forget what the surgery was called but poor thing had to have sticks up her nose for a week and it didn't even fix the problem. She endured such agony for nothing.
