Hearing the heart sounds requires proper pressure of the diaphragm of a stethoscope to the skin. To hear the pulmonary valve, a stethoscope is placed directly below the valve along the sternum above the third rib. The bicuspid valve is best heard between the fifth and sixth ribs at the apex of the heart. The aortic valve is heard best on the opposite side of the sternum from the pulmonary in the second intercostal space. The tricuspid valve is best heard where the sternum and sixth rib join.
