The article explores the phenomenon of moaning, particularly in relation to pain and discomfort. It highlights how certain vocalizations, like moaning and groaning, are universally recognized across cultures and may stem from evolutionary practices predating language. Research suggests that these sounds can have a direct analgesic effect, potentially triggering endorphin release and influencing cortisol production in the brain. While often a source of humor in youth, the reality of moaning in adulthood reflects a deeper connection to our physiological response to pain and stress.
Moaning and similar sounds of agony help us feel better by directly influencing our nervous system, possibly triggering the release of endorphins.
Such vocalizations, like moaning, may precede human language, suggesting a deep evolutionary significance in expressing pain and distress.
