Powerful Magnets
When the MRI works, its strong magnets move to scan the body.
This coil spins really fast inside the machine, creating noise.
The machine sends out electric pulses, which cause a loud tapping sound.
Each pulse makes the coil move, causing banging sounds you hear.
The MRI's tunnel-like shape makes these sounds echo, making them louder.
Even though it's loud, the machine is very safe and helps doctors see inside our bodies.
Doctors give you special headphones to protect your ears from the noise.
The loud noise is just part of a quick process to help you stay healthy.
