Default technical question

ok so why does water make noise when it boils?

if you listen you can hear that it has different sounds as well at the different stages of boiling.

I know I'm treading close to the edge of a political thread here, but creation and collapse of the water bubbles. In the earlier stages of boiling, they recollapse before they get to the surface; in later stages, they pop at the surface and release steam, making a different sound.

Well the way water boils at my house the vibrations of the pan on the burner add to the overall noise.

If you think it makes a lot of noise when it boils, you should hear the noises it makes when it burns!!!



That might explain my cooking skills.
