Answer:

It is possible to hear a whooshing or popping sound from any type of gas burners when the burner ignites on start-up and reignites during use.

  • A similar popping noise is also audible when the burner flame extinguishes.
  • Burners also make a constant humming sound when in use as gas flows to the burner.
  • This is normal operation.
  • There is no set time between reignition.
