Jay481985 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_tympani_muscle Voluntary control Contracting muscles produce vibration and sound[2]. Slow twitch fibers produce 10 to 30 contractions per second (equivalent to 10 to 30 Hz sound frequency). Fast twitch fibers produce 30 to 70 contractions per second (equivalent to 30 to 70 Hz sound frequency)[3]. The vibration can be witnessed and felt by highly tensing one's muscles, as when making a firm fist. The sound can be heard by pressing a highly tensed muscle against the ear, again a firm fist is a good example. The sound is usually described as a rumbling sound. Some individuals can voluntarily produce this rumbling sound by contracting the tensor tympani muscle of the middle ear. The rumbling sound can also be heard when the neck or jaw muscles are highly tensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2011 Jay you know if you fill your brain up with all kinds of miscellaneous stuff your going to run out of room up there. [][] There is also a muscle in your butt that more or less does the same thing at the same speed, right before you get in an accident or just after you do something really dumb.

Moderators dtel Posted March 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2011 or pass lie detectors. Only if your guilty. [:|] I had to take one about 30 years ago for a company I worked for when a bunch of stuff came up missing. I didn't care, I didn't have anything to do with it and had no idea who did. I guess I passed, no one was fired, I really didn't care I was Innocent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
