@irish89055 First, my voice is only present in the first few seconds. As far as controlling ambient noise, I'm not Jesus Christ. I can't force others not to share their joy during liftoff and I can't control the wind. Maybe with some high tech equipment and noise dampeners the wind would be less noticeable. And if we're talking ambient noise, let's not discount all the camera shutters and announcers in the video link you sent.

Did it really feel THAT good when you came at 0:02?

There goes my 300 tonne Dick in space, man I've got a large dick

300th like:) awesome!

heard it with my new Pioneer in ears, man the sound presses my brain more than minimal techno!

damn your quick orgasming in the first 4 secs of the video lol

@UFGatorGuy20 it actually wouldnt destroy the orbiter. On STS-1 they did not use the sound supression system and it did not get destroyed, but the launch pad was slightly damaged.

Don't know how I missed this vid. It was really fantastic! I agree with SenyorPony - what a fantastic vantage point. Have you had a chance to check out my launch vid yet ? It is also extremely loud.

My headphones almost exploded! I had to turn the sound down, I wasnt ready for that, incredible!

Is it me, or did you catch the second stage separation toward the end there? The big red.
How loud is it irl? Ive read that its about 200db around the pad, and that they use water to "cool" down the acustics. The "roar" does seem to be a big part of the experience.

@Zhqrxt Honestly, each rumble really pounds on you and there are a few moments my ears hurt. But, it's incredible. Yes, the pad has a massive "sound suppression" system that dumps water underneath the shuttle starting several seconds before liftoff. Without the sound suppression, the acoustics would reflect off the flame trench and destroy the orbiter.
