From Wikipedia.org:

The "snap, crackle, pop" sound

The cereal is marketed on the basis of the noises it produces when milk is added to the bowl. In fact, Blue Man Group makes music by crunching Rice Krispies in their performances. The onomatopoeic noises differ by language:

• English: "Snap! Crackle! Pop!"
• Canadian French: "Cric! Crac! Croc!"
• Spanish: "Pim! Pum! Pam!"
• German: "Knisper! Knasper! Knusper!"
• Danish: "Piff! Paff! Puff!"
• Finnish: "Riks! Raks! Poks!"
• Dutch: "Pif! Paf! Pof!"
• Afrikaans: "Knap! Knaetter! Knak!"

Evidently sound effects vary from language to language.
