Yes, I've heard it. They said it was the water hitting the furnaces down below. It could also have been some of the stacks giving way; those things get loud. The book "Night to Remember" by Walter Lord tells about it.

Explosions were reported as the cold water initially hit the steam boilers. Subsequent explosion-like noise were the deck and superstucture breaking amidships, and then the windows, etc. blowing out from pressure as Titanic sank.
