A pushing noise is a noise that can occur when eating or drinking. It occurs when food or liquid is pushed through a partially open cardiac opening of the stomach. This opening connects the stomach to the esophagus and allows food or liquid to pass into the stomach.
A pushing noise may be heard in the area between the xiphoid process (the bone protruding from the sternum) and the left costal arch. This noise is muffled and short-lived.
The cause of a pushing noise is that food or water cannot pass freely through the cardiac opening and is forced to be pushed through it. This may occur because the cardiac opening is narrowed or because there is something obstructing food or fluids, such as ulcers, tumors, or other diseases.

Is it possible to completely avoid the pushing noise that can occur when swallowing food or liquid? We will try to figure this out. A pushing noise is a dull, prolonged noise heard at the posterior border of the middle third of the sternum or at the upper part of the left angle of the scapula through
