Reduced (hypoactive) bowel sounds include a reduction in the loudness, tone, or regularity of the sounds. They are a sign that intestinal activity has slowed. Hypoactive bowel sounds are normal during sleep. They also occur normally for a short time after the use of certain medicines and after abdominal surgery.
Bowel sounds are MOST ACTIVE in the Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ) because to the right of the Umbilicus is the Ileocecal Valve and the point at which the Small Intestine connectsâ¦ to the Large Intestine. However, they can be heard in other quadrants too but the Right Lower Quadrant is where bowel sounds are most active.
