It is because soda has carbon dioxide gas in it. When the can is closed the soda is under pressure, and so the gas cannot escape. As soon as you open the bottle, the pressure is released and the gas begins to escape. That is what makes the sound. When all the carbon dioxide escapes, the soda is "flat".
