Dear patient
Your described sound may be arising from chest infection. Were you given general anesthesia during your surgery? if yes putting of endotracheal tube may invite infection with collection in chest and hence sound.I would advise visit to chest physician as soon as possible. Xray of chest posteroanterior should be done. hope this is useful.
