Does our stomach only “growl” when hungry? Why do they make so much noise?
In: Biology
Borborygmi (the name for stomach growling) is caused by either gas or food moving through your digestive system.
Food and liquids can muffle the noise quite a bit, so it’s particularly noticeable when you’ve gone a while without eating, but the noises definitely happen even when you’ve just eaten.
Apparently it’s your stomach cleaning itself out and not hunger. But my source for this is an Edx video on YouTube I can’t find
