Usually, people breathe audibly at a slower place when they're actually asleep. When people are more awake, their muscles are more tense and they're less likely to fall back, so you usually you don't hear anything at all. Even if people don't snore when they're sound asleep, the breathing pattern will still have some minor resistance that you can usually hear out loud. If someone was actually awake but pretending to be sleeping or unconscious, you likely wouldn't be able to hear that.
