"effect" is a noun.
"affect" is the verb.
Use "because I snore loudly".

Please note my corrections above.

I think you need to write simpler sentences - I'm not sure your English is at a level that allows you to try to construct these longer, more complicated sentences. Make sure you follow these basic rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".

"effect" is a noun.
"affect" is the verb. . . .
In this context, yes. More generally, either one can be a noun or a verb.

Your comment is good. I just want Bhatt to know that the words have several uses.
