$Lub$ is the first heart sound. It is associated with the closure of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves at the beginning of systole.
The second heart sound $dub$ is associated with the closure of the semilunar valves at the beginning of diastole.
These sounds provide important information about the condition and working of the heart.
