It is a rapid clicking sound. MRIs are really easy on patients!

It is very loud. There is a lot of knocking sounds. I had a brain tumor 6 years ago and have a MRI every year

They'll give you earplugs to put in your ears. After that, you'll hear something like a hammer hitting metal or a jackhammer. The technician is usually talking to you throughout the whole process. I recommend closing your eyes if you're claustrophobic =)

actually th MRI scanning process is sound-free (magnetic fields, what do you expect? :-) )
the sounds come from various moving parts within the machine. sounds scary but doesn't hurt you one wee bit

They put ear plugs in and foam pads over your ears, you just hear some light banging noises and the tech will talk you through it. I almost fell asleep!
