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

309 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?

Thats likely not muscles. What you’re hearing is probably blood being forced through blood vessels close to your ear. I assume you’re hearing this vibrating noise when your head is on your pillow?
