Every sound the body makes, in one place.
An interactive library of heart, lung and bowel sounds, and the practice to name them at the bedside.
Everything you need to learn to listen
A player built for listening. Loop a sound, slow it to a quarter of its speed without changing its pitch, and drag across the waveform to replay just the murmur. A phonogram shows where each sound falls in the cycle.
Hear the difference in close pairs. Play two sounds back to back and switch between them at the same moment in the cycle, so pairs like S3 and S4 finally sound different.
Practice until you can name it. Name it, find it, and same or different, in rounds of ten. Sounds you get wrong come back on a schedule until you get them right.
Know where to listen. Tap a cardiac auscultation site on the chest, drawn over the ribs, to hear the sounds heard best there.
