I would agree that looking at the physical state of the water/bubbles at
the surface of the electrode is a good idea. There was some work done
many years ago on the sound of various chemical reactions. The sound
of jelly setting was particularly odd (another situation where water is
important). It was never followed up to the best of my knowledge
