The high-pressure air that was inside the balloon is now free to expand and this creates a pressure wave that our ears hear as a bang. If you put a piece of sticky tape on the balloon first and then push the pin through that, the balloon doesn’t go bang.
A balloon pops when the material that makes up its surface tears or shreds, creating a hole. [1][2] Normally, there is a balance of the balloon skin's elastic tension in which every point on the balloon's surface is being pulled by the material surrounding it.
