i've heard that when you are pregnant and you're water breaks you can actually hear it break. is this true? and if you can't hear it, how do you know when that happens?

The sound you will probably hear is the amniotic fluid hitting the ground, its a lot of fluid and you will definately know when it happens

When you're pregnant one of your biggest concerns might be that your water will break in a less than desirable situation, sending amniotic fluid gushing everywhere. You may imagine being in the middle of a presentation or in the middle of a grocery store aisle when it happens. The truth of the matter is that only about 13% of the time will your water break prior to the onset of labor. In fact, more than 75% of the time your water won't break until you're well into labor and more than 9 centimeters dilated.
That doesn't mean that the fear is real that you won't know the difference between amniotic fluid and urine.

When your water breaks you feel pressure in your stomach then a gush of fluid like you are going pee. you hear the the gush and when it hits the floor or you feel it run down your legs.
