I wonder if some people have stiffer joints in their non-dominant hand that might make it louder. I have found that a wet hand results in a louder snap. This may be helpful in places that prefer finger snapping to hand clapping so you can use one hand to hold a drink.
It might allow your finger and thumb to grip better and build up more pressure before the snap, like certain earthquakes. The Guinness World Record for the loudest finger snap is decibels by Bob Hatch in California, in , which is considered comparable to a rock band loud. I was expecting some difference related to finger strength and muscle mass affecting the resonance. In a lame little Facebook survey, more of my friends indicated the right-handed snap sounded higher.
I think my right might be slightly higher, but I am left handed. So I don't know what to make of this, although there is that even handed thing. I would expect that people with bigger palms and maybe longer fingers would have a lower sounding snap.
A musician I know noted that curling your remaining fingers also affects the tone of the snap. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile. Measure ad performance.

List of Partners vendors. Many people can make their fingers pop and snap, often called cracking knuckles. The sound you hear is caused by nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide bubbles moving in the fluid that surrounds your joints.
Rest assured that the most common causes of finger-popping are not typically a problem. When there is no pain associated with popping or snapping fingers, it is usually harmless.
However, if your noisy finger joints are painful or swollen, you should contact your healthcare provider. This article explains when snapping fingers and cracking knuckles can be signs of a problem. It will also discuss symptoms to be aware of and potential treatments. Joints may snap and pop for many reasons. Some of the conditions that cause it include:. The tendons in your hands are like cords that attach to the ends of your fingers. When your forearm muscles contract, the tendons pull the fingers into a fist.
The tendons run through a thin tube called the flexor tendon sheath. This goes from the middle of the palm to the tip of the finger. If you have the condition known as trigger finger , that tendon movement isn't smooth and may feel painful and stiff.
This can lead to snapping noises. Because of this, you may also develop some swelling on your palm. The cause of trigger finger is often unclear. It can occur in multiple fingers, in different locations, and at different times. Trigger finger is about six times more common in women than in men. It is also more common in individuals with diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.
Genetics and repeated use of the hand may increase the chance of developing trigger finger. Trigger finger can happen if the size of the tendon and the size of the opening of the tendon sheath aren't compatible.
This can occur if there is inflammation or swelling on the tendon. This causes a snapping feeling when you are relaxing a fist. If symptoms get worse, you may need to use your other hand to straighten the trigger finger, or it may not straighten at all.
Treatments for trigger finger include steroid injections, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and possibly surgery. Ligaments hold joints together and can get damaged when a finger is sprained or dislocated. Ligaments can be partially or completely torn. If the ligament heals improperly and is too loose, the joint can pop and snap as you bend your fingers. Common symptoms of a ligament injury include pain and swelling of the joint.
Try a snap in your right hand. Now try the left. Did you notice any differences? Now, try playing with some different rhythms. Snap at a nice, slow steady pace or pick up the pace for a quicker rhythm. If you are up for the challenge, see how many snaps you can do in a minute. Record your results. Just a couple of months ago, Guinness World Records announced that the new world record for most snaps in a minute is snaps. Perhaps you can also experiment with the volume of your snaps.
The loudest snap on record was recorded at decibels. For comparison, a motorcycle makes sounds that are recorded at about decibels.
