The sounds of a heart murmur are caused by turbulent blood flow through the heart and large vessels. The irregular flow, whether due to regurgitation or rapidly changing pressures, can make characteristic sounds whose pitch, dynamics, and location can help identify the cause of a murmur.

A heart murmur is an unusual sound of the heart when it beats. Murmurs can vary from being faint to loud. Though some murmurs can be benign, you should always check with your doctor because it could indicate an underlying condition.
They are noises made by the heart which result from turbulent blood flow, they even occur in perfectly healthy hearts.
It depends on when the murmur is heard during the heart beat process. It can either be diastolic murmur, systolic murmur or continuous.

Other heart sounds, such as a quiet "whoosh," are produced by "murmurs." These sounds are produced when there are irregularities in the path of blood flow through the heart.
