When you snap your fingers, the noise doesn’t come from your fingers!

When you snap your fingers, the noise doesn’t come from your fingers!

The noise you hear when you snap is not from your two fingers like most believe, but actually your finger slapping your palm.

There's a faint whisking noise from the friction when your fingers rub together, but the sound associated with a snap is from your palm.

Rubbing your two fingers together in preparation of a snap builds up force that is released when your finger strikes your palm, making the snapping noise.

Try putting a tissue or padding on your palm and the noise will be substantially diminished!
