eli5: what is the purpose of the vibrating muscles around our head?

315 viewsBiologyOther

When you use them, you can hear and feel a “rumbling” noise that sounds like it is coming from inside your brain.

What is the actual purpose of these muscles and why do we have them?

The big muscles that power your jaw run up the side of your head, just in front of your ears.

They are pretty mighty, and depending on how your head is positioned, it can definitely feel/sound like a rumble.

Is that the right area?
