Can You Do This?

Put your thumbs together, side by side.
Now wrap your hands like you're making a snowball.
(Apologies to the Florida natives.)
Bend your thumbs slightly and leave a little gap between them.
Put your lips on the bent knuckles and blow downward.

Can you make a loud noise?

I voted "yes" before I knew the whole deal. I have to retract that answer. I can't make a noise the way you described and I never could.

Now, if I had an acorn top, that's a different story. :D
