Loudest Coasters?

[Snowman]

Hershey Park is the park I grew up visiting, and I always think of Great Bear's deafening roar when I think of loud coasters. They have restaurants and walkways set up right along the vertical loop and Immelman, and I think in those particular spots, you're hearing the loudest sound a roller coaster makes. I've not been to SFMM yet, so I can't compare with Superman: EFK, but Great Bear is just ridiculously loud.

And of course, Top Thrill Dragster likes producing noise. I always like the sound produced by the launch mechanism - a low pitch noise that slowly gets deeper and deeper, followed by the screams and the train shooting up the tower, which can also be pretty loud.

havent been to many parks outside of florida, but theres no greater joy than waiting for the lights to start flashing to hear the hulk

Just saying, Great Bear makes a roar sound from the lack of sand in its supports.

Wanna hear what a machine gun sounds like? Ride Alpengeist.

At what point does Alpengeist sound like a machine gun. The lift hill? Loch Ness' trims before the loop startled me with how loud they were.

Alpengeist's lift hill is absolutely deafening at times, and yes Nessie's trims are a little bonkers. Her brakes in the station are excellent though, I love their clapping as a train comes in.

S:EFK sounds like a Boeing 747 taking off...even from outside the park.

Honorable mentions to Kumba, Mantis, and Firehawk's lift.

Lightning Run's lift hill is pretty damn loud.

Banshee itself is not super loud, but the scream they play when a train is at the top of the lift is.

The loudest I've heard are the Mr. Freezes at SFOT and SFStl. I can hear the one at SFOT when we are swimming in the outside hotel pool across the street from the park..... Also Intamin Impulses are pretty loud when they launch, with that "scream" noise they make when they take off.

I forgot about V2, the bloody thing sounds like it's ripping itself apart.
