Hiccups are caused by the diaphram with is in the lower part of your chest under the lungs. So when the diaphram goes into into irregular spasms by activies such as eating or drinking to fast, it causes you to suck in air randomly. The hiccup sound is caused by the air passing through the voice box and that's why it's called hiccups!
