Pleurisy: nhs.uk/conditions/pleurisy/
"Your GP will listen to your chest – a distinctive dry, crunching sound may suggest you have pleurisy."
Pneumonia: nhs.uk/conditions/pneumonia/
"Your GP may also take your temperature and listen to your chest and back with a stethoscope to check for any crackling or rattling sounds.
They may also listen to your chest by tapping it. Lungs filled with fluid produce a different sound from normal healthy lungs."
