teeth chattering
Jaw tremor sound
Teeth chattering is the rapid, involuntary clicking of upper and lower teeth together, typically from cold or fear.
The body's shivering response causes jaw muscles to contract rhythmically: His teeth were chattering so hard he could barely speak.
Teeth chattering also occurs with fever chills or extreme anxiety.
