...LOUD!!!

Actually you have to keep ~250m min. clearance distance (we were about 300m from the nearest launcher - last pic shows the distance: to the right are the launching pads down middle to left are the shelters) and it was pretty noisy - not to mention the shockwave...

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
