Take a guess, Blue or Yellow
When the hole of a Bunsen burner is half closed (or half open) the flame is mostly blue-violet in color throughout, with no orange/yellow apparent as it would be with the hole fully closed. When the hole is fully open, the flame divides into a pale voilet color outer part with a cone of intense blue color within.
The tip of the blue cone is the hottest part of the Bunsen burner flame.
A half-open flame on a Bunsen burner is used for heating solutions gently. It provides a more diffuse heat compared to a fully open flame, which is useful for tasks where overheating or boiling over needs to be avoided.
To get a roaring (blue) flame you simply turn the sleeve on the Bunsen burner's chimney to completely open the air hole under it. The new blue flame will be hard to see so close the air hole afterwards to make a visible flame.
To create a safety flame on a Bunsen burner, first close the air hole at the base of the burner fully to shut off the air supply. Then, light the burner using a match or a striker. Adjust the air hole to allow only enough air in to produce a small, non-luminous blue flame. This flame is safer as it produces less heat and reduces the risk of accidents.
You turn the air admittance ring at the base of the Bunsen burner until it is fully open. this allows the hottest flame to be produced and has a blue colour

Air hole fully open gives a 'roaring blue flame'

Yes, a Bunsen burner will make a noise when the air hole is open due to the increased flow of oxygen combining with the gas to create a louder, more pronounced flame.

To produce a Bunsen burner with the highest possible flame, ensure the air intake is fully open to allow for maximum oxygen flow. Adjust the gas flow to the highest setting while also adjusting the collar to create a blue, well-defined inner cone within the flame. Regularly clean the burner to maintain optimal performance.
When the air hole is covered on the Bunsen Burner its oxygen supply is made smaller. This makes the flame turn YELLOW - This is considered to be the safety flame as it is the most visible to the eye and it radiates less heat. When the Bunsen burners air hole is fully open there is a super heated blue flame which is the product of complete combustion. Hope this helped :)
The four(4) flame types of Bunsen burner is depending on flow through the throat holes (holes on the side of the Bunsen burner -- not to be confused with the needle valve for gas flow adjustment). 1) air hole closed (Safety flame used for when not in use or lighting). 2) air hole slightly open. 3) air hole half open. 4) air hole almost fully open (this is the roaring blue flame).
