Hot water & Cold water

[itsallyellow]

Why does the noes of hot water being poured into a mug differ from that of cold water being poured into the same mug?

[Catso]

Does it? Is this another case of no meaning no and not yes?

[wildwood]

Because cold water is denser.

[itsallyellow]

I meant noise, typo. the fact its denser doens'explain it to me. The colder water makes more of a clumping noise where as the hot water makes more of a swirling smoother noise if that all makes sense.

[EuanC]

Gee - I have never noticed the sound difference before.

Could it not just be that the type of recipticle you normally pour hot water from differs from the type that you pour cold from - hence the different sound ??

[Catso]

Serious typo!

I can't say as I've ever noticed that.

If by hot, you mean boiling or boiled, then that may have less dissolved air in it than cold.

[itsallyellow]

I poured some cold water from a kettle this morning and then boiled the water and poured water from the same kettle into the same mug (minus previous cold water) and there was a distinct sound difference. Try it.

[cascarelli]

Not quite the same, but when stirring a cup of tea or other hot liquid the sound changes as you stir and goes up in pitch.

Just thought I'd add that!!

There's six S's, five I's and two P's in Missississippi if that's any help.
