Murmur: A murmur is a noise caused by turbulent flow in a vessel or the heart. Anemia often causes an increased heart rate which can cause a murmur. Abnormal valves or connections between chambers can also cause murmur.

Heart murmur: You usually can''t feel a murmur and wouldn't know if you had it unless someone listened to your heart.
