Q: eyes making a weird noise

It's very hard to describe. It's kind of like a suction noise but in rapid succession. I don't get it all the time but I do get it often. It usually happens with my right eye, more so than the left one. If I press my eye (of course with my eyelids closed) it makes those noises. Especially if I press the corner of my eye, closest to my nose.

When it happens with my left eye, it's the same thing.

I get this most often when I'm laying on my right side. And if I turn over, it usually stops but not always. But I get it sometimes even when I'm standing or sitting up.

And sometimes if I blink hard, it makes that noise, but only one time, not in rapid succession.

I don't know if it's related but my ENT doctor said that I have a slight deviated septum.

It doesn't hurt but it is very annoying.

Do you have some vision problems?
Do you experience increased production of tears?
Do you have burning sensations and itching in the eyes?
Do you have redness on the conjunctiva?

No, none of the above, except for not being able to see well at a distance, for which I use glasses and contacts. And an astigmatism.

Those noises are probably not related to nasal septum deviation. They could be due to rapid tear movement into the tear's (lacrimal) canal and sack (sacus lacrimalis) when press on the nasal corner of the eye. Tears canal (canalis lacrimalis) starts from the nasal corner of the eye and transport the tears in to the nasal cavity.
I think you shouldn't worry about that sound.
