That may be the sound of slag and sediment in the tank. If it is an issue, and it probably is, (May be clogging the check valve) drain the tank, flush it out real good, check the element, it probably is covered with calcium deposits.. When we started preparing for this trip, I changed the safety release valve (pop-off valve) heating element and drain plug. Inexpensive insurance.
