Do you notice if you have trailing bubbles from your mask when you dive ? Sounds like you might nose-breath a lot if you can't control the water coming thru the nose...
May be the bigger mask just provide enough tidal volume for you to breath more from it, thus the snorting. And the smaller mask is "too restrictive" to start the snorting ?
Just some wild-ass guesses here...
