Your not hearing the flame your hearing the gas move through the burner. and it is louder because it takes more gas moving through (so gas moving faster) than it does for a flame that is not as hot.

What kind of flame do you get from a good Bunsen burner?

Im Only 14 But I Hope This Helps A Good Bunsen Burner is used in laboratories to heat things. A Bunsen burner can produce 3 different types of flames: The "coolest" flame is a yellow / orange color. It is approximately 300°C. It is never used to heat anything, only to show that the Bunsen burner is on. It is called the safety flame, The medium flame, also called the blue flame or the invisible flame is difficult to see in a well-lit room. It is the most commonly used flame. It is approximately 500°C, The hottest flame is called the roaring blue flame. It is characterized by a light blue triangle in the middle and it is the only flame of the 3 which makes a noise. It is approximately 700°C. The Flame Changes Colour Depending On The Air Hole Thingy On The Bunsen Burner.

There are actually two flames that appear one is yellow & other is blue.
