Acoustic analysis of the inflation sound in Eustachian catheterization
Abstract:
To check the reliability of the Eustachian tube catheterization as a test of tubal dysfunction, a soundspectrographic analysis of inflation sound was carried out in 130 tubes. A close correlation between each tubal condition classified by objective tests and their soundspectrographic features indicated the reliability of the test. The origin of an inflation sound in obstructive tubes which displayed three sonagraphic types was examined by a tubal model. It was revealed that the stenotic sound mainly originated from turbulent air at the tubal orifice.

Heart Sounds
Auscultation is the process of listening to these internal body sounds using a stethoscope. The heart produces four types of sounds, but only two—S1 and S2—can usually be heard with a stethoscope.
S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V) valves at the...

Normal Heart Sounds
S1 (First Heart Sound)-
S1 is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular valves), marking the beginning of systole.
S2 (Second Heart Sound)-
S2 is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar valves), marking the end of the systole.
