Probably normal: Most of us hear a funny squishy sound when we swallow. When our mouths are closed, it may feel like it is louder. However, if the noise never happened before, it is noticeably more difficult to swallow, or you feel like your saliva has changed recently, see your physician or an ENT to make sure everything is working as it should.

Tubes: The eustation tubes empty in the back of your throat. Their purpose is to regulate pressure in the inner ear. When you swallow you are hearing the effects of the pressure chabge insdide the eustation tubes.
