That’s weird for a volcano. I was in Seattle both times Mt St. Helens blew. I never heard anything. The weather was clear the second time so I at least got to see it.

May 18, 1980 : I lived in Port Townsend, WA, 40 miles north of Seattle and heard it erupt that morning, our house shook. It only had one (1) major eruption.

Here's the video I watched. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WwCYmHx0KaE

It's from The Print out of India.

I know of a lady who was there when St. Helens blew. She couldn’t get the sound of it out of her head. So much so that she move as far from volcanoes as she could get.

I remember sonic booms from airplanes as a kid. None of them was ear shattering even as they shook the house.

There was a video going around online from the Tonga eruption. It was so sudden and so sharp I literally jumped when I heard it and a lout WTF! came flying out of my mouth. I’m glad for not being there in person.

The reality of that sound is incomprehensible to me.
