What sound does a broken bone do?

I am assuming what sound it makes when you crack a bone. The sound would be a CRACK, like a sprained ankle.After that, when you're sure it is not a sprain, take an x-ray. Ans 2: It usually sounds like a pop or a crack if you have the presence of mind to listen for it. I recently broke a rib by pushing too hard on a drill with my chest...it sounded like cracking your knuckles. I broke a bone in my hand once but that sound was drowned out by the smack of the punch. You can't count on the sound to self-diagnose a broken bone. Get an x-ray to be sure.
