You don't. If it is a gas water heater and you have hard water, the sound you hear is the lime deposits being heated and releasing gases. The only way to fix this is to buy a new water heater and install a water softener. This is also true for electric water heaters.

You probably need to contact a plumber about this. There may be some gas trapped in the pipes, or there may be other problems. If it's benign, the best thing you can do is attempt to sound-proof the boiler cupboard. You can use any soft material for this, but it needs to be in thick layers. Egg-boxes pinned to the inside of the cupboard wall should also help absorb some of the sound.

Is it called a hot water heater or water heater?

It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
