Lived near a few air bases. Have heard the boom of an SR71 going low and fast. But, the loudest I've ever heard was a meteorite or space junk breaking the sound barrier overhead. And that includes the shuttle which had a great sound as it passed over on landing.

Had a chance once to stand about 100m from a B1 Lancer while it performed a full afterburner combat takeoff.

Just absolutely incredible... It's so ungodly loud that your ears basically have no purpose and it's like you are hearing through your whole body.
