Answer: NO, It is unlikely that any sound would be heard when cuff pressure is at 72 mm Hg.

Step by step explanat:
This is because at this pressure, the blood flow through the artery is completely occluded, which means that there is no sound of blood flow that can be heard with a stethoscope. This pressure is typically used as the starting point for measuring blood pressure using the auscultatory method.
