What Causes Faint Sound On Touching The Right Side Of The Neck?
For the past month or so I have noticed that a light touch of my finger tips to the right side of my neck below or behind my ear produced a faint fizzing sound that lasts 1 or 2 seconds. Touching the same place again repeats the noise. Also I sometimes experience the same sound if I turn my head abruptly, yawn or grimace. I have no pain associated with the noise, but do have tightness in neck and shoulder muscles for which I am doing PT. However this fizzing noise started before I started the PT. I thought it might be noise from blockage of my carotid artery, which ultrasound four years ago showed an insignificant amount of placque on the right side and none on the left. My MD ordered a new ultrasound and this showed NO placque on either side. Any ideas re the strange noise?

Respected Sir, regarding noise it seems mostly psychological correalation of certain subcouncious elements which we don`t know in counciousness , relating to some of the aspects which in my opinion requires thourough concentraion exercises along with training of subcouncious mind by the ways of YOGA and rest of the relaxation techniques. Thanks, regards hope this works at its best.
