It also protects the launch pad and surrounding structures from damage from the over pressure blast of the engines and Solid Rocket boosters.

@Burnz2much to protect shuttle and launcher and crew's ears. Other people are far enough so they can't be harmed. :)

What if they used ass-water instead?

@noxious890 So the latter, thanks for the reply.

@Burnz2much The water system is designed to protect the Shuttle and its payloads from any damage that may occur from acoustical energy reflected from the Mobile Launcher Platform (MLP) during launch. The system was first installed at the pad when reflective energy from the top of the Mobile Launch Platform was causing minor damage to thermal curtains on the SRBs and putting stress on the wings. After adding the system, the sound pressure was reduced by half.

I know what it does, but why.. to protect peoples ears, or to protect the shuttle and launcher from the concussion..
This is how Chuck Norris takes a shower.
