im 31 and just realizing this...

[CarbonBraddock]

if you put a finger between where the other two are snapping, then the sound is louder, try it, the third finger doesn't even have to be blocking the other two. definitely things going on that science cannot explain brehs.

It's a combo, your ring finger/pinky creates a small conoidal-shaped chamber against your palm that amplifies the sound.

Bingo

just realizing the sound of a snap is the finger hitting the palm not the fingers rubbing together

It's actually the sound of your middle finger hitting the top of your ring finger. Take your ring finger out and you don't get the 'snap' sound.

That limits your range, or at very least, reduces the velocity of your middle finger hitting your outer palm. But yes, the middle finger hits the ring finger as well

Depends on which finger you snap with I get the snap even if I don't hit my palm.

Yeah, it may not need to hit your palm directly but the surrounding area will still produce the sound...




Why am I even talking about snapping fingers at 2 am I have to work tomorrow

Even if you don't fold your ring and pinky fingers you can still get the *snap* sound, just as loud too.

The loudness of the snap depends on where you position your middle finger on your thumb
