I'll propose a theory: very loud, low frequency sounds actually create small vibrations in your eyes, and most brains have learned to pipe this sensory input to the auditory cortex. So, the shake in the GIF triggers a "sound" through your eyes.
- pb060 9y agoIt could also be the tensor tympani muscle tightening in response to a visual event that would normally be accompanied by an extremely loud noise.
- Flenser 9y agoThat's also my theory. I can do it at-will by tensing my jaw muscles and I hear a "thudding" vibration sound. (Although I wouldn't have known what the name of the muscle is until your post.)
- pb060 9y agoI can't do it at will but few times I was waken up by the "sound" of it vibrating, quite a scary experience!
