Take an ice cube. Get a pair of pliers. Now, squeeze the cude until part of it shatters off. Now, multiply that much noise of the ice cube to make it appropriate for a wall of ice to be sheering off a glacier. Like anything being ripped or torn apart, it will make noise. What precisely causes the noise I do not know.

Why do you think a multi-ton piece of ice breaking loose and falling tens or hundreds of feet would make a lot of noise?
I think it is because it displaces a lot of air quickly thereby making large vibrations which travel to my ears and shake my ear drums, which I perceive as noise.
