What noise does your rifle make when fired?

I guess I knew that each different cartridge would sound a little different but it really struck home the other day. My son wanted to check the zero of his 30-06 at the end of a non-productive hunting day and fired a round into a piece of wood I placed in a fork of a tree trunk at about 100 yds. It made the customary CRACK-BOOM. Then I shot my 7x57 and it was noticably different, and kind of cool sounding too. More of a KA-POW sound. My son-in-laws 7 WSM is more of a CRACK-KA-BOOM. What does your gun sound like?

Loud! If it's my 45-70.

Not so loud if it's my M77/22.

my leverguns have a pakeeew sound.
oddly my 7x57 ackley sounds different than my 7x57 and different again than my i.c.l. x57.
i think velocity/un burnt gas and bore diameter has a lot to do with it.
