Today’s fun fact might surprise you – it’s impossible to hum a tune while holding your nose! Humming involves creating a sound by vibrating the vocal cords and resonating the air in your nasal and oral cavities. When you plug your nose, you block the airflow through your nasal passages, disrupting the resonance that’s essential for humming. The nasal cavity acts as a resonator, amplifying and shaping the sound. With your nose blocked, this resonating space is lost, making it nearly impossible to produce the characteristic sound of a hum.
