Does the brain make any sound while you are thinking?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33499points) 2 hours ago

We all learned that the brain is essentially powered by electrical impulses. That’s what lets hearts beat, nerves send messages from body parts to the brain, and so on.

Do those electrical impulses make any sound? Of course, it would be very, very, very faint, but is sound emitted?

I compare this to the buzz you hear when you stand underneath high tension power lines. There’s frequently a low buzzing sound – I have heard it.

So does the brain make any sound while thinking?

I have background white noise all of the time.

btw, we “think” all of the time, every second, unless you’re very very good at meditation.
