# Getting the sound of really good micro bubbles

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-06)

I have heard that the perfect sound while steaming milk should sound like paper ripping, but I have seen a lot more talented people making a decent coffee with good micro bubbles without that sound.

Is there a "perfect sound" to know that you are getting the best micro bubbles?

The sound it's not a very good "measure stick" for steaming.

So, I suggest to you that don't focus on other's people *steaming sound*, but instead on theirs technique. Of course there are some sounds that indicates some process (the first sound it's very loud, until the milk circulates enough), but there aren't a sufficient parameters (on my POV).
