                                The average person's digestive tract is around 30 feet long, and within this muscular tube, a symphony of sounds often occurs. The common growling associated with an empty stomach—is it true that hunger pangs make noise? The answer is yes, but the rumbling isn't caused by the hunger pains themselves but rather the movement of gas and liquid during digestive processes.
