bruit vs hearsay

bruit

noun
  • An abnormal sound in the body heard on auscultation (for example, through using a stethoscope); a murmur. 

hearsay

noun
  • Information that was heard by one person about another that cannot be adequately substantiated. 

  • Evidence based on the reports of others, which is normally inadmissible because it was not made under oath, rather than on personal knowledge. 

  • An out-of-court statement offered in court for the truth of the matter asserted, which is normally inadmissible because it is not subject to cross-examination unless the hearsay statement falls under one of a number of exceptions.
