A crackling sound Noise from the fan This noise occurs in pans which are made from different materials superimposed on one another. It is caused by the vibrations that occur in the adjoining surfaces of the different superimposed materials. The noise comes from the pan. The amount of food and cooking method can vary noise intensity. For proper use of the electronic system, the temperature of the hob must be controlled. To do this, the hob has a fan which turns on when a high temperature is detected.
