It goes thumpeta thumpeta thumpeta. The heat can make one oscillate.

My vote against glass topped stoves. Put on a pan of peas and turn on the
stove. Nothing happens because the element hasn't heated the glass yet. By
the time it has, your back is turned and it's too hot. Peas boil over and
the liquid splatters. Grab the peas off the stove but you don't try to wipe
up the mess, because the glass is too hot to touch. Just stand there and
watch the pea liquid scorch and weld itself to the surface. The glass will
be hot for another half hour, but that's useless when the food is cooked. An
hour later it's cool enough that you can begin to gently scrape at the
charred mess, taking especial care not to scratch the once-lovely glass
surface. Since owning a glass-topped stove I've learned to love those
old-fashioned ugly foil-covered burner pans.
