 Dear Randi,
Thank you very much for using our website.
What your aunt is suffering from is most probably paying too much attention to the normal sounds of heart beats especially now that she has a new valve, and some of these valves especially if of the mechanical type have an already mechanical clicky sound that a person sitting besides your aunt would be able to hear it especially if it quiet around.
Hope this helps a little bit.
Thank you for using our website http://doctorslounge.com
