OK, in this case, rocket noise.
This is a test-firing of the gas generator from a F-1 engine:
The gas generator ran a turbine on the F-1. That turbine powered the fuel pumps that fed kerosene and liquid oxygen to the combustion chamber.
The gas generator produced more power than the engine of a F-16 fighter.

Yep, a VERY small percentage relative to the actual F-1 but STILL noisy as hell! :-)
Was this test at MSFC/Redstone?
