It isn't any  sound that wakes you up in a panic, it's the sudden *absence* of
sound.  One of my baqbies stopped breathing three times and each time it was the
absence of that reassuring rythmic sound that had me instantly awake.  I can
also sleep through my husband's snoring but when he suddenly stops I wake and
check if he stopped because he has moved or stopped because he isn't breathing.
This person obviously has no idea.
