What did it sound like (other than loud)?

This should give you an idea.

There's a low-frequency component that cuts in at about 0:24 in that
recording, known as the "Vulcan Howl". On some take-offs it's at a very
low level, on others it can dominate the engine sound, and I've heard it
described as being like "a herd of elephants trunpeting!"

I'm guessing that the volume on any given occasion depends on many
factors (length of runway, how much power the pilot has to apply and
where, weather conditions, where you're standing at what point in the
take-off... and so on, and so on!)
