During one cardiac cycle, two types of sounds are produced, which are known as heart sounds.

(1) First Heart Sound: It marks the beginning of ventricular contraction and is produced when the mitral and tricuspid valves close. This sound is known as "LUBB".
(2) Second Heart Sound: It marks the beginning of ventricular relaxation. This sound is produced by the closure of semilunar valves (SLV) and is heard as "DUBB."
