Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether wheeze as assessed by a commercially available wheeze monitor is comparable to lung function as measured during a spirometry test. The main questions it aims to answer are whether measures of airflow obstruction (FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF) correlate with wheeze score (Tw/Ttot%). Participants consenting to take part will undergo wheeze measurement prior to and during a spirometry test and will be asked to complete a series of symptom questionnaires.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Wheeze score (Tw/Ttot%)
The average proportion of each breath that contained wheeze during a 30 second breath sound recording.
Day 1
FEV1/FVC
the ratio between forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)

Study Arms (1)
All participants
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will undergo wheeze monitoring during tidal breathing prior to spirometry and during a spirometry test.
Interventions
Acoustic breath sounds will be measured during tidal breathing prior to spirometry and during a spirometry attempt.
