Noise during Carbing

[bearduncle]

I'm new to kegging. Everytime I turn on my gas (forcing at around 30 psi), I get this loud blap-blap-blap for about 2 seconds before it goes away. Does this indicate some kind of leak in my valves? Is this normal?

Thanks!

Do you have check valves in anyof your fittings?

I get a peculiar noise from my check valves. Have had for a couple years now and everything works fine.

Just typical regulator chirp- RDWHAHB

If someone pumped you full of 30 pounds of pressure...you'd make some blap-blap sounds too.

Is the sound coming from the keg, or the regulator?

Sound like the gas going into the keg, from your description.

Pretty sound...

That got a good laugh from me, I think I'll stick to just doing it on the kegs.

Technically, the noise isn't from pumping up the pressure, but from releasing it.

Sounds fairly normal to me. Most of the time this will happen when pressure is turned up high. Usually above 10 psi and you open the valve quickly. Try and open the valve slower to see what happens.

Thanks all - glad the CO2 music is nothing to worry about!
