Tail-shaking behavior and morphology is most developed in rattlesnakes, but a rattle is not necessary to produce a buzzing sound, as many snakes simply vibrate their tail against the leaf litter to produce a loud buzz.hen the apparatus is shaken at high speed, a buzz or rattling sound is created; rattlesnakes have three sets of dedicated, tail-shaking muscles in their tail. Two of the muscle groups pull the tail to each side, and a third set of muscles allows the ventral surface to be aimed in either direction.
