Plz I want more detail on this expansion
Empty vessels make a loud sound when struck with something. But filled vessels do not make much sound. The proverb has a hidden level of meaning. Empty vessels refer to empty headed people who are the most talkative and noisy. These people go on speaking continuously, but their speeches are meaningless. Thus empty vessels make most noise

The above phrase is one the famous analogy which means that the things which has a lack in them appear to be smarter than they actually are. In practical lives, the people who have less or no knowledge about any particular thing tend to speak much more about that. On the other hand, the people who have knowledge and wisdom speak less and do not boast. They only speak or give their suggestions when it is required.
