Why do people make the "smooching" noise when kissing?
Why do people make the "smooching" noise when kissing? It seems like it takes at least a little intentional effort to make that noise. Is it weird to make out but not make the noise?
Well, a kiss involves some degree of suction, no matter how small. Otherwise, it's a peck.
Besides, part of the kind of kiss that smacks is performative. The people involved are using it as a form of social bonding, so the sound is intrinsic to the exchange. You won't usually find adults making out with closed mouth kisses and making extra noise. It's really a different thing.
I once had a girlfriend. There's more to the story. I once had a girlfriend who I'd gross out by trying to kiss her with "horse lips." That isn't why it didn't work out, though.
My bird requests good night kisses. They make big smacky kiss noise. She doesn't peck though. Just places the top of her beak on my nose and makes the noise.
They don't always. That being said it is pretty hard to make out silently. I mean between the lips and tongue there is a lot going on and personally I find its hard to make out without saying some stuff to my partner between boughts.
It’s surely an evolutionary throwback to when our ancestors made chirps and clicks or vocalizations prior to the development of language. We still have that ability but it’s not really useful for communication by humans.
Gargling to rinse your mouth requires almost no noise. The gargle noise is 100% voluntary and unnecessary.
That's not true. If you want to get some of the medicine to the back part of your throat, that's why you gargle loudly, to keep it from continuing down your throat and accidentally swallowing it. If you only worry about around the teeth, you don't.
I believe you are thinkng of swishing. Gargling can be done without making the GARHGARHGARHGARH loud noise while still gargling and getting the back of the throat.
The difference is comaprable to singing vs breathing.
