The lung sound that possesses such characteristics is the bronchial lung sound.
These refer to hollow sound coming from your trachea which are usually louder and higher that various other sounds when it comes to the pitch. Also, expiration (meaning, when you exhale) lasts longer than inspiration (when you breathe in).
