Detailed explanation-1: -The first sound LUB is produced when the atrioventricular valves i.e. tricuspid and bicuspid valves close at the start of ventricular systole. The second sound DUB is produced at the beginning of ventricular diastole when the pulmonary and aortic semilunar valves close.

Detailed explanation-2: -A healthy heart makes a lub-dub sound with each beat. This sound comes from the valves shutting on the blood inside the heart. The first sound (the lub) happens when the mitral and tricuspid valves close.

Detailed explanation-3: -Normal heart sounds come in pairs. The sounds are often described as a constant “lub-dub, lub-dub.” The first “lub-dub” is the sound of the mitral and tricuspid valves closing. The second “lub-dub” is the sound of the aortic and pulmonary valves closing soon after.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first heart sound (lub) is associated with the closure of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves whereas the second heart sound (dub) is associated with the closure of the semilunar valves.

Detailed explanation-5: -The first heart sound (S1) is composed of several high-frequency components; only the first two are normally audible. These two sets of audible vibrations are temporally related to closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
