Some sounds are like gentle touches on the ears. Imagine you're playing with a friend, and they tickle you, it makes you laugh. Now imagine someone plays a soft musical note, or a funny sound that bounces around in your head. That's how some sounds feel: ticklish! They make our brains go 'Ohhh, that's fun!' and we can't help but smile.
Examples
- You hear a funny laugh on a video, and you start giggling like you're being tickled.
- A soft musical note makes your friend laugh as if someone is playing with their toes.
