yeah when Chris aka Cree Cree was born you could put your ear on his chest and hear the washing machine sound he had a grade 6/6 murmur and after his surgery it came down to a 1-2/6 and now it has been told to me by his cardiologist it is a 3/6 and I have no idea he told me it was due to him running. I said he ahsn't done anything different then any other times we have visited.
thanks for you input

Sounds like a murmur. Heart murmurs can be whoosh (like mine), clicks, purrs, gallops. If you google heart murmur and look at the descriptions under the choices, there's a couple that have sounds you can hear. Pretty interesting and cool. They label them according to the valve involved or problem.
