You know when you hear a full crack. Also, if you hear any onomatopoeia from the Rice Crispies slogan (Snap, Crackle, or Pop), then you know you've broken a bone.
Sometimes you won't hear a noise if it's a smaller, softer bone. Keep the wound raised and don't try to move it. If the pain doesn't go away in a matter of days even though you aren't messing with it, it's likely you've broken something.
