Why does the ear gong sound louder when you put your fingers in your ears?

When you put your fingers in your ears, you create a seal that reduces the escape of sound waves, focusing the vibrations within the ear canal. This amplifies internal sounds, such as your heartbeat or the sound of your own voice, making them seem louder. Additionally, blocking external noise allows these internal sounds to stand out more, contributing to the perception of increased volume.
