It depends on if it's a gas water heater or electric. I don't think electric makes any noise, but a gas water heater, you'll the gas ignite, and hear the rushing gas from the burner.
The part that generates heat... depending if it is a gas / electric heater
do you have an electric hot water heater,- or is it a gas/ electric hot water heater system,- or is it a mainbody boiler hooked up to the hot water tubing in the house?Ido have an electric w/h and I do have hot water @ the sink.maybe your hot water heater or your mainbody boiler PILOT light blew out-- remove the panel and check it out and see if you can light it againmaybe your hot water tanks gas valve blew out-- you willl need to buy another valve to replace it or maybe a whole new hot water heater if the hot water heater is about 10 years old or older.maybe all the hot water was used up somewhere else in the house or by someone else.maybe your hot waters element heater blew outmaybe your hot water gas will not ignite because maybe the Thermocouple Igniter is no longer any good and you need to replace it.
An electric can be installed by any plumber or smart handyman. A gas one needs a gas fitter.
Electric hot water heater is used to heat cold water for use in winters. Electric hot water heaters heat water faster than the ones which consume fire in order to heat water.
Have gas line and all gas fittings and connections at water heater checked for gas leak. Should not smell gas at water heater.
YES and No Yes if you are going to be working on the gas water heater and No if you are working on a cold water line and if you are working on a hot water line you can shut off the gas or electric to the water heater so in case your water heater drains but what I usually do is just turn the water heater's water supply valve off.
if its not a forced air water heater then yes its should be hot but not red hot.

The amperage of an electric hot water heater is governed by the wattage of the heating elements and the voltage that is applied to them. Amps = Watts/Volts.
