Along the lines of the recent “screaming in pain” question. Why, when in long-term pain, does it feel better or soothing to quietly moan? I’m talking aches, or chronic pain flairs, etc, rather than acute sudden pain. Does it have to do with lengthening exhalation duration?

It is an evolutionary trait. The soothing makes us do it as an attempt to evoke an empathetic response from a possible attacker or from tribal peers.
