Answer:

It is possible to hear a whooshing or poofing sound from any type of gas burners when the burner ignites on start-up and reignites during use.

  • A similar poof or popping noise is also audible when the burner flame is extinguished.
  • Burners also make a constant humming sound when in use as gas flows to the burner.
  • This is considered normal operation.
  • There is no set time between reignition.
