I've got a theory (like that actually comes as a surprise to anyone).

The theory is the the intensity of the sound is proportional to the
intensity of the effort the wizard has to put into apparating. 

Voldemort and Dumbledore are old, VERY experience, and VERY POWERFUL
wizards, so, due to power and experience, it takes very little effort
to disapperate; no more noise than the swish of a cloak. 

Mundungus Fletcher (sp?), on the other hand. doesn't strike me as an
especially powerful wizard, so it takes a serious forced effort on his
part; result - loud crack. Molly and Arthur who are experience and
powerful, apparate with a 'pop'. Fred and George who are young and
while powerful, not very experienced at apparating, so I suspect as
easy as they make it seem, it still takes a concentrated effort, so
they 'crack'.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
