Pronunciation & Spelling
The stressed first syllable of hubbub (/ˈhʌbəb/) is pronounced like hub, cub, rub, tub, sub, and club (all /ʌb/); these are not full rhymes because hubbub adds an unstressed syllable /əb/. Beware lookalikes such as bubble (/ˈbʌbəl/), double (/ˈdʌbəl/), and trouble (/ˈtrʌbəl/): they share the -ubb- spelling but end in /əl/, not /əb/.
