20 Unusual Things People’s Bodies Do That They Didn’t Know Weren’t Normal

“Since I was a kid, I’ve heard this weird, TV static-y-sounding, rain stick-y noise coming from the back of my neck randomly. It almost feels like something is draining. I assumed that, kind of like when your stomach growls, it was just a weird body sound nobody really talked about. Well, fast-forward to this year and during a doctor’s appointment, I mentioned it offhandedly. My doctor looked absolutely horrified — she’d never heard of that in her life. I told my partner, my friends, my parents…and not a soul had any idea what the hell I was talking about.”

“After some googling and reading comments of fellow weird-head-noise-sufferers, it’s believed to be the sound of your spinal fluid, though there’s admittedly not a whole lot out there on it. People tend to hear it most when they’re hungry and, after some personal testing, I can confirm that holds up.”
