Hi, there! I can purr, too! So glad to find someone who can relate. ^^ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.203.70.221 (talk) 22:57, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here are some links that examine purring in a variety of different animals. Could be helpful to increase the overall quality and level of detail.

It is true that humans can purr as well as cats and many other animals such as. Many people have their own way of purring. One of the most famous is having your tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth and making a certain sound. This is not how you actually purr in fact it actually sounds like you are growling and snarling at the same time. I do it all the time and it always sounds like a growl slash snarl. I can purr and make actual cat sounds that no one else can make. I do not purr with my mouth open but with it closed and straight. I am able to create a low rumble with my vocal cords allowing a sound to be emitted from it. The sound is caused by the chords hitting one another within your throat. This allows a low or high-pitched rumble to reach the ears of others around you. The only problem is that it takes practice and a lot of it. I can not breathe while doing this and it minimums my ability to purr for a long time.

Has anyone ever studied whether the frequency of purring happens to match the resonate frequency of the entire animal. If it did, I imagine it would shake their entire being and might feel quite pleasing. If purring frequency was correlated with animal weight, that might support this hypothesis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.74.217.203 (talk) 21:14, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Nyaa~nyaa and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 29#Nyaa~nyaa until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The claim at the end of the article seems extremely sketchy, I will present my thoughts behind that opinion. First the reason the removal was reverted was given as "I see your point, but think this is ok - the magazine is a decent source and the evidence is the statement by the author, 'Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing')"
I personally think it is dangerous to take exceptional claims at face value when they are made by one person with seemingly little or inaccessible evidence to back it up. Seems unreliable. As this is medical science related, I feel better citations should be found to make it clearer how verifiable it is, otherwise it should be removed, or made more clear that the claims should be taken with care. Any thoughts? 103.108.229.55 (talk) 09:19, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
