A kind of sound heard on auscultation, resembling, at times, the humming of certain insects. Various musical sounds, (F.) Bruits musicaux, are described from fancied resemblances :-as Bruit de piaulement, resembling the clucking of the hen ;-Bruit de jappement, resembling the barking or yelping of a young dog, &c. The sound is chiefly met with in those labour-ing under chlorosis.
