My eye makes a noise when rubbing it?

Have you ever heard your eye make a noise when you rub it? Well, if you have or haven’t, we’re here to tell you what the deal is with this peculiar phenomenon. Whether it’s just something that happens in movies or actually occurs in real life, we’ve got all the nitty-gritty details for you. So sit tight and keep reading!

The Sound I Hear Is Like A Squeaking Noise

If there’s one thing that can leave us utterly perplexed, it’s hearing an unusual sound coming from our own bodies. If your eye has made funny squeaky sounds when rubbed before too, then don’t worry – you’re not alone! Many people experience strange noises in their eyes upon rubbing them.

The noise may be described as resembling chalk on a blackboard (yes, preferentially), or even like two surfaces sticking together – yuck! Whatever way one chooses to describe the sound they hear when they rub their eyes will suffice because at least now we know it does exist.

Can This Be Harmful In Any Way?

Okay now let’s clear up some misconceptions: no, rubbing your eyes doesn’t mean there are creatures living inside them and about to pounce out of terror-induced shock (sorry horror consultants). As for worries about damaging your vision by doing so repetitively over time; again — no need for panic (but please avoid excessive rubbing). Your eyeballs are surprisingly resilient creatures capable of restoring itself promptly after minor damage due to superficial mechanisms such as blinking and tearing fluids spreading fresh oxygen-rich nutrients along its exterior layers without which sight wouldn’t remain intact for very long.

However…Caution should still be exercised since habitually scratching or contorting areas around your precious sensory organs could lead to unwanted issues like infections resulting from stray micro-particles that come along with dirty fingers, broken blood vessels, or just downright irritation for the extended period of grabbing instead of tapping. So kindly resist the urge to rub your eyes when it’s not necessary because they are already hard at work filtering out dust particles and harsh light on their own.

What Causes The Sound & Sensation?

There is a reasonable explanation behind why our eyes make noises upon rubbing them: Fluid Mechanics, baby! As we know, there’s always fluid in our body(even if you’re thirsty)enabling organs and tissues to slide against each other smoothly without causing unbearable friction(At least most of the time).

In this case, sound waves generated by small pockets of air moving through the tear-fluid as pressure builds up with every rub become audible due to vibrations transmitted from areas around our eyeballs containing bone structures like facial bones(just above/around one’s cheeks), sinuses(small cavities beneath cheekbones), temporal lobes(right next door to ears).

All these parts – coupled with ample fluid content showcasing high surface tension acting as elastic components- harmoniously form a vibrational cavity while being rubbed that makes it quite satisfying whenever we experience it.

Can Everyone Hear These Sounds?

This phenomenon has a name too – Phosphene. However, whether everyone can hear or feel these sounds is subjective since sensitivity thresholds vary from person to person based on pre-existing factors like eye health status(genetic history , underlying conditions ), age(tends manifest more predominantly with advance in years -sorry grandpas/grandmas)and types/source intensity level per say(i.e.,loudness/duration etc.).

And then again sometimes such things are better left undiscussed – especially within formal settings where discretion may need practicing even more strictly than others….Ahem.

So there you have it ladies/gentlemen – an article dedicated solely towards answering questions surrounding those funny noises heard upon rubbing your eyes phew. Though it’s not harmful if done in moderation, it’s best advised to take precautions beforehand like washing your hands thoroughly – avoid touching your eyes frequently when outside or after contact with potential pathogens such as dust particles etc. Also; try reducing screen time or choosing a more comforting position during bedtime/working hours to prevent dryness which would otherwise necessitate rubbing involuntarily.

In summary: rub delicately and safely for all the fun of it, but don’t push too hard just because you’re curious- remember that curiosity killed the cat in some cases! Cheers Raising my morning coffee mug).
