Why are kettles noisy?

Because of science.

I guess that the noise is the way the energy is transferred Bythe high current of element passing to the water, rather than the water being noisy itself

Explosive heating of the water in to steam around the element

This. Water right next to the element turns into steam, rises a little into the main body of much colder water, and cools down again. This rapidly changing state makes a racket.

Because the kettles got a whistle on it(-:

Peeing in them doesn't help eh,911 Motorsport.....

[Impasse]

Not only that, they've also got a very big opinion of their own importance and will try to let as many people as possible know they're heating water.

Probably slower transfer rate, and definitely more evenly spread, so the rising/falling water mingles less dramatically. Happens if you pour cold water into an empty hot pan.

Those are st, annoying & the answer to a problem that doesn't exist.
HTH.

Why? It's instant(ish) boiling water in a cup, where did they go wrong?

Never fills a proper mug so you have to do it twice & spill some as you can't turn it off halfway. That's just for starters. After that, it takes forever to make more than a couple of cups of tea because your doing one at a time.
All it is, is a really small travel kettle with a tiny pump to make it less useful.

Our kettle has 'quiet boil' technology. Probably the loudest kettle I have used in my life. What a load of st.

I had a 'one-cup' 'instant' 'hot water' machine once and it couldn't make a decent cuppa. Tea needs boiling water and I think most of the instant devices only get it to 75 or 85degC? Fine for coffee but rubbish for tea.
