A member asked:
When i go under water in a pool i hear this wierd stretchy noise coming from my head or nose. is this normal?

Yes.: As you descend the increased external pressure compresses any air filled cavity in your body ( much of this is in your head) and causes some creaking / popping or squeezing sound. You can hear the same sounds on a submarine although the pressures are of course much greater.
