In physical exam he says:  No stridor.  No sturdor, muffled, or "hot potato voice" is present.

No stridor or "stertor" - I think this is what you want.

...you'll sometimes hear them say "stertorous breath sounds," too.

The second "T" is usually pronounced more like a "D" sound, so that's probably why people either spell it wrong or can't find it if they try to look it up. It usually sounds like they're saying "sturdorous."
