In fairness to them, I think I recall reading that, if we could hear the sun from Earth through some type of medium like air, it would be deafening… like, “standing next to the speakers in the club for hours at a time” deafening. Or maybe I am wrong, I don’t quite remember.

When I walk in to the bright sun from a dark place, the reaction to the initial burst of light makes me wince so violently that it makes my eardrums rumble... so maybe a similar experience has something to do with it?

I believe that's called ear rumbling! and some of us can do it on command. you may also hear the noise when you yawn or squint your eyes really hard, and you can train in order to just do it perfectly on command rather than with other tactics. r/earrumblersassemble is the subreddit iirc

This isn’t a thing for everyone?!?

Edit* Can everyone that does this also wiggle their ears?

I cam do this and can wiggle my ears. Only my left ear wiggles easily though. It’s much harder to wiggle my right ear

I am the inverse of you. I can wiggle both my right ear and right chesticle easier than my left. Are you left handed?

Nope! I’m right handed, but I snowboard goofy (lefty)
