Technically if the bulb burns out it doesn't flash at all. The indicator in the car usually does, though, and that's probably what you're asking about. In many cars, the flashing is controlled by a "flasher" unit, which is essentially a small relay. The delay on the flasher depends on the current draw by the bulb. If the bulb burns out, there is no current draw, and the flasher oscillates faster.
