A member asked:

I hear sometimes lil subtle ticking noises coming from my body-seems like chest area. hadheart checked, what could it be? could it b intestinal sounds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several possibilitie: Sounds in the body come from a variety of locations. Surly from the chest and abdomen you can have gas or air sounds. I doubt it's the heart since you say it's okay. It could be from your ears and you might need to have that checked.
