Did you know?

 

It’s impossible to hum while holding your nose

You just tested it, didn’t you? Normally, when you hum, the air is able to escape through your nose to create the sound, and of course, it can’t do that when you’re holding it shut. This is one of the weird facts you can test out for yourself. Go ahead, try it.

I did it. A low key hum but could still be called humming.

You're right, I did try it right away, LOL. And you're also right, I couldn't do it.
