    I served 3 tours of duty in the US Marine Corps, the loudest I've ever heard was a toss-up between artillery fire or tanks firing. Thankfully, it was always outgoing and never incoming.

    I have no memory of this kind of thing. 

    I don't compare explosions.

    I watched a building being demolished by implosion.  We watched from a parking deck a safe distance away.  It was fun to watch.  I haven't heard that many explosions.

  • It probably seemed louder than it really was because it blew up at about 10:00 pm.  It was loud though!
