Do you notice this with fizzy drinks in a can or in a glass? Or both of course.
I'd say it's because the sound is the bubbles popping, and if you move more bubbles will pop on moments of impact and less when the drink is relatively still, but that's just a first hunch, nothing scientific.

In a glass, and happy to go with your theory. For those familiar with Monty Python, do you now have the tweed skirted “My theory” ‘woman’ in your mind’s eye.

I also have a theory concerning the sound of fizzy drinks

(clears throat) This theory, which belongs to me, is as follows... (more throat clearing) This is how it goes... (clears throat) The next thing that I am about to say is my theory. (clears throat) Ready?

My theory is that the sound of the bubbles is directly proportional to the speed at which the drink is carried. A slow careful walk would result in the bubbles being at their loudest if however your pace increased to a Usain Bolt type sprint, then the noise of the bubbles will disappear along with most of the fizzy drink.
 
Never mind the sound!
Why do bubbles defy gravity and rise from the bottom of the glass?
There is no air pressure inside the liquid?
Also, Isn't CO2 heavier than air?

Answers on a lemonade label and post them to 10, Downing street.

Not sure, but it's lighter than water, judging from the rising bubbles!

Water is extremely heavy and difficult to carry without a glass!
Even though I've been getting water all my life, taking water to a glass gets kinda messy.!!!
 
Just remembered something from my childhood that me and my brothers had to do during the bad winter of 1963.
It was called going for coke! (Coal!)
Because of the extreme weather, deliveries of essential goods couldn't happen. So we were volunteered to go to the local compound where the coke was kept.
An old pram and warm clothing and boots, were needed. The spade and bags were provided by the compound. It wasn't too bad going (but cold), coming back was very tough ask. (For some reason, I didn't feel the cold as much!
Seeing our local wide river as close to being frozen as if we lived in Siberia!
Building a fire after clearing the ashes and cinders, makes you realise, how good central heating.

Oh happy days!
 
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!

You can never have too much tea!
 
I once had a young lad who came to work with me on a job that needed taking apart and rebuilding, it was a metal base with a plastic top, of course, it had screws and bolts to make it sturdy enough for use.
He was 17, and it was his first work experience.

So as one of the fixtures was too rusty to reuse, I asked him to go back to the work shop and get me a bolt and nut. I had showed him earlier where most of what we needed for the job.
I caught up with him a couple of hours after. I asked him, where was the bolt and nut?
He said, that he didn't know what a bolt and nut was and he didn't want me to be angry with him!

I spent the next half hour explaining basic tooling and fittings.
He didn't last long.

I felt a bit sorry for him, where is the education?

That, and also learn how to cook a simple breakfast at work on Saturday mornings is part of a first year apprentices training.

I've never drank tea or how to make it!

That is used in working environments more than you would think!!!
