5.9.1

ayamagnirvaiśvānaro yo'yamantaḥ puruṣe yenedamannaṃ pañyate yadidamadyate tasyaiṣa ghoṣo bhavati yametatkarṇāvapidhāya śṛṇoti sa yadotkramiṣyanbhavati nainaṃ ghoṣam̐ śṛṇoti

This fire that is within a man and digests the food that is eaten, is Vaishwânara. It emits this sound that one hears by stopping the ears thus. When a man is about to leave the body, he no more hears this sound.

Swami Madhavananda 1934, The Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
