Why is my stomach so damn loud when I dont eat anything... what causes it to make so much noise????


Answers:

The "rumble" or "growl" sometimes heard from the stomach is a normal part of digestion. It originates in the stomach or upper part of the small intestine as muscles contract to move food and digestive juices down the gastrointestinal tract.

The rumbling sound produced by the movement of gas through the intestines of animals or humans. The word borborygmus is an actual onomatopoeia for this rumbling.

onomatopoeia: the formation of a word, as cuckoo or boom, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.
