When you yawn, your throat and vocal cords stretch and relax, which can create unusual sounds. This occurs due to the movement of air through the vocal cords and changes in pressure in the throat. Additionally, the presence of mucus in the throat may contribute to these noises. The combination of these factors leads to the characteristic sounds you hear during a yawn.

Why does my female dog make a high pitched squeal when she yawns?

It's not unusual for dogs to make noises when they yawn. The same thing happens to people also. It can be caused by the muscle contractions and air passing during the yawn.


Why is it when you yawn your daughter acts really weird?

Exactly how weird, and for how long? It is possible that you are unaware of something really odd or funny about your body movements or vocalizations when you yawn, and your daughter's weirdness is an attempt to stifle a reaction that she thinks might embarrass you. If that's the case, you have a chance to bond a little, have a laugh and a yawn or two, and maybe learn to yawn in a less, well, gaping manner? For some reason, your question really gives me a weird urge to see you yawn.


Why can't I hear properly when I yawn?

When you yawn, the muscles in your ears and throat relax, which can temporarily affect your hearing by changing the pressure in your middle ear. This can make sounds seem muffled or distant until the muscles tighten back up.


Why do you make a weird noise when you yawn?

The noise made during a yawn is due to the sudden intake of air expanding the eustachian tube in your middle ear, which can create a "popping" or "clicking" sound. This is a normal physiological response and is nothing to be concerned about.

Your ears go weird when you yawn?

When you yawn, the muscles in your inner ear, called the tensor tympani and stapedius, contract. This can affect the pressure in your middle ear, causing a temporary change in how you perceive sound. This is why your ears might feel like they "pop" or sound muffled during a yawn.

Why does singing make me yawn?

Singing can make you yawn because it requires deep breathing and can relax your body, triggering the yawning reflex.


What is that weird sound you make when you yawn?

This is a funny question that I just had to take a stab at! :) I do not think it is actually the yawn that makes the noise, but most people stretch when they yawn. This is known as pandiculation. This is just a guess but when you stretch it tightens the vocal chords similar to the strings on a guitar. The yawn itself takes in air quickly which strum the chords (hope you can follow a metaphor, cause I can't think of how else to explain it) and produce the noise you hear when you yawn. This is why breathing alone does not cause the noise because the vocal chords are not tightened. Like if you were to try and play a guitar with very loose strings, it would make no sound. This is just a theory, but it is the best explanation that I have. :)


What muscles help us yawn?

The muscles that help us yawn include the diaphragm, responsible for controlling breathing, and muscles in the jaw and throat. Yawning helps to stretch and contract these muscles to increase oxygen intake and alertness.


How many muscles are used to yawn?

Yawning involves around 9 different muscles in the face and throat. The main muscle responsible for yawning is the tensor tympani, which is located in the middle ear and is involved in the stretching of the jaw during a yawn.
