If you place a stethoscope between the second and third rib, known as the right second intercostal space, just next to the upper border of the sternum, you'll hear the aortic valve closing.
The midclavicular line is the imaginary line that gets drawn from the midpoint of the left clavicle, or the collarbone, straight down, and you can find where it intersects with the fifth intercostal space.
