Imagine you're listening to your favorite song, and suddenly, a chill runs down your back. That’s called shivering from sound. It happens because certain sounds or music match the way our brain feels when we are happy or excited, like when you hear something super emotional or amazing. These sounds make parts of your brain light up, which sends signals to your body, and boom! You feel a shiver.
Examples
- When you hear a loud, exciting part of your favorite song, you feel a shiver.
