you'll know once you hear or try it

A conditional plus 알다, which here usually means recognising rather than knowing: 들으면 알아요 'I'd know it if I heard it', 이름 들으면 알 만한 배우 'an actor whose name you'd recognise', 줄 서서 먹으면 아시죠? 'you know how it is when you queue for it'. In one line 알아서 is the separate fixed word meaning 'on their own, without help'.
