Funny Noises
MRI machines make loud, funny noises when they're taking pictures.
Some people say they sound like a drum beating or a jackhammer.
The noises come from the magnets and radio waves the machine uses to take pictures.
The noises can be loud or soft, and they change during the scan.
You can wear earplugs or headphones to block out the noise and listen to music.
It's important to stay very still during the scan, even when the machine is making funny noises.
The noises can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the scan.
Some people find the noises funny, while others might find them a bit scary. It's okay to feel however you feel!
