Still's murmur is detected via auscultation with a stethoscope.It has a peculiar "musical", "resonant" or "vibratory" quality that is quite unique. [1] [2] It is generally most easily heard at the left middle or lower sternal border and the right upper sternal border, often with radiation to the carotid arteries, although other locations are common.
The humming may be confused with a heart murmur, which may be a symptom of a potentially serious condition. The difference is easily detected by placing light pressure on the internal jugular vein when listening to the heart, which will immediately abolish or change the venous hum, whereas a true heart murmur will be unaffected by this maneuver.

Bruit, also called vascular murmur, [3] is the abnormal sound generated by turbulent flow of blood in an artery due to either an area of partial obstruction or a localized high rate of blood flow through an unobstructed artery.
Heart murmurs are unique heart sounds produced when blood flows across a heart valve or blood vessel. [1] This occurs when turbulent blood flow creates a sound loud enough to hear with a stethoscope. [2] The sound differs from normal heart sounds by their characteristics. For example, heart murmurs may have a distinct pitch, duration and timing.
Heart murmurs are produced as a result of turbulent flow of blood strong enough to produce audible noise. They are usually heard as a whooshing sound. They are usually heard as a whooshing sound. The term murmur only refers to a sound believed to originate within blood flow through or near the heart; rapid blood velocity is necessary to produce ...
