Video: Why does the belly make a cry when hungry?

Your abdomen emits a hunger cry due to fluid and air movement in your stomach without many foods that make a sound cushion.

The cry is caused by the movement of muscles in the digestive system including the stomach, small intestine and colon.(Photo taken from the clip).

Lisa Ganjhu, Ph.D. at the University of New York University, USA explained why the stomach makes a cry when hungry. In essence, this phenomenon is caused by the movement of muscles in the digestive system including the stomach, small intestine and colon (colon), according to Business Insider.

The stomach will expand and swell if filled with water, air, food. When it pushes things down into the small intestine, you will sometimes hear a gurgling sound, or hear the air moving. The movement of everything in the stomach produces sound. If your stomach is empty, there is no food to reduce the sound cushion. At that time, the sound will be louder.
