TIL that some people can voluntarily control the tensor tympani, a muscle within the ear. Contracting these muscles produces vibration and sound. The sound is usually described as a rumbling sound.

This drove me crazy for a while, because I can do it- but I didn’t know what it was and I couldn’t figure out how to describe the rumbling sound in my ears. It usually happens when I shut my eyes super tight. Glad to see that I’m not alone, and that there’s a good explanation of what it is!
can everyone not do this??? i thought that hearing a rumbling static noise from the muscles in your ears when you squeezed your face shut really hard was universal
dont fucking talk to me if you cant do this
Oh, erm, there is a word for it, and it’s a documented phenomenon?
…..until this post I didn’t realise not everyone could do this…….
