So why does it make the noise?

As i understand it, the wick is so well saturated that when the (ideal) vaporization process begins it essentially forms a bubble inside the liquid that's present on the wick, and when the bubble escapes it essentially "pops" with almost explosive force. Certain types of juices (high PG) and coils builds (specifically parallel) will make it much more prevalent.

A hilariously disgusting simplification would be to imagine farting in a bathtub, when the bubble reaches the surface and "pops" that's essentially the same thing thats happening in the atty, but with a bit more force.

Again AFAIK, but it usually means your setup is working well.:vapor:

Im using ipv mini with Atlantis aspire tank and im vaping unicorn milk. I have it set at 28 w. When I vape it makes a piping or crackling noise. Is that normal?

It is normal with that type of setup.

So why does it make the noise?

IMO, it's because you are running at high enough power (watts) per square inch of coil surface area to make it happen. Be careful that you're not burning juice because that can be unhealthy to vape. As long as that isn't happening, IMO you're OK.
