   I think it’s probably a combo of the actual TEETH doing something and varying the tightness of his cheeks and tongue and space in the oral cavity while making some sort of sound. 

    

   As his father before him, my middle son spent some time in, ummmm, detention in high school and learned how to made all sort of interesting sounds with his mouth with his chums……they were suppose to do nothing and the kids made music by experimenting with sounds. He does something that sounds like water dripping you could swear is water dripping….makes me crazy. My husband can play his hands like an ocarina and keeps his young patients amused before he looks in their ears!

    

   This kid is quite talented and I would bet it has a large part to do NOT with the teeth.

   Interesting, fun rhythms, but somehow I mostly hear a future mouthful of cracked, broken teeth…  Castanets would probably serve equally well, and be much safer.
