When we say hydrogen is “burning”, it is actually undergoing a chemical reaction where it combines with oxygen to form water releasing a lot of energy.

2H + O -> H2O + energy

a lot of energy is released by hydrogen when it combusts, and most of this energy is released in the form of heat.

Heat causes gases to expand, and since a lot of heat is released the gaseous mixture (hydrogen, oxygen remaining from and water vapour liberated from the reaction) and the air adjacent to it expand very quickly, so quickly that the gas molecules break the sound barrier.

That is the “pop” sound that you are hearing.

The pop sound comes from the small explosion formed by the burning of hydrogen with oxygen, Other common gasses do not give pop sound.
