A member asked:

Why do i hear a faint brief high e-flat when i relax my clenched jaw? this is not a problem but i am curious.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Joint is release: Your jaw joint synovial fluid maybe squeezed within the cartilage, as your muscles are clenching, pushing the bone ends together, making the cartilage cushion clutched to protect the two bones in the joint. Remember that the jaw joint is very close to the ear.
