This is a question best discussed with your cardiologist.
Generally as cholesterol builds up in the carotid arteries the flow of blood becomes disrupted and the affected flow causes sounds in the low frequency range. There sounds are now called bruits or murmurs.They usually cannot be heard until the blockage is significant.
