The normal sinus rhythm sounds like a "lub-dub". The "lub" is the sound of the two atrioventricular valves (mitral for left atrium to left ventricle, tricuspid for right atrium to right ventricle) closing immediately after atrial contraction and then relaxation. The "dub" is the sound of the two sumilunar valves (aortic for left ventricle to aorta, pulmonary for right ventricle to pulmonary artery) closing immediately after ventricular contraction and then relaxation.
