Sound recordings (audio) of whooping cough
Three different children and an adult.
Sound of a child with whooping cough in which there is much loud whooping
Sound of a child with whooping cough with a small amount of whooping
Sound of a child with whooping cough with no whooping
Adult with severe whooping cough spasm. Take care listening if you are feeling delicate!
What is the difference between what you hear in the above recordings and any other cough?
The answer is that there is NO INTAKE OF BREATH after a few coughs. With most other coughs there is an intake of air after about three coughs.
