These types of murmurs are common in children and are due to flow of the blood through the pulmonic valve. They are 'hum-like' in quality and disappear when the child stands up. Whenever a medical persons asks about 'murmurs' they are asking about abnormal murmurs, not innocent murmurs. For this reason it is not necessary to list an innocent murmur on a medical record form. I hope you find this information useful.
