A noisemaker that fits over your mouth and nose, for recording

Now they have cheap digital recorders which can record hours of time. If you wanted to do a cheap test that checks for apnea, you need only a recorder and a noisemaker that fits over your breath passageway.

This noisemaker would be a small piece of paper or plastic that makes a fluttering sound when its blown by your mouth or nose. That way there's a sound that the voice recorder could pick up.

Hehehehehe, NOW We'll See Who Snores . [Grogster, Aug 07 2010]

The following conversation has happened (frequently) at my humble abode (Chateau Debris):

You snored last night!

I snored? I don't snore. I would know if I snore, and I don't snore. Not once did I hear myself snore, but I certainly *did* hear YOU snore.

ME you heard snore?

[lawpoop], this recurring conversation could be settled once and for all with a small addition to your idea: a rather loud air horn ( or, [link] ) would go off at the first sign of snoring.

Bun [+].
