Why Do People Hum When They’re Happy?

People often hum when they're happy because it feels good. It's like singing a tiny song inside your head, and it makes you feel even better. Think of it as a little celebration for being happy. When someone smiles or laughs, humming can be their way of showing joy without saying much else. It’s like a quiet party in your brain.
