I watched a Titan IV launch from about 10km away. You saw the ignition, a
5-10 seconds later you felt the ground shaking, and the rocket was maybe
300-400 meters up and hitting the scattered clouds before the sound got to you
30 seconds later, and then you have the weird phenomenon of the rocket getting
smaller and farther away, while the sound gets louder.

I did some work for the Standard Missile program when I was still at Hughes. As
a perk I was invited to a test firing at White Sands, Because of a foul up, my
security clearance wasn't received so instead of being in the indoor VIP viewing
area I was relegated to some outdoor bleachers in the hinderlands where the
countdown was from some distant speakers. By the time I heard it, the missile
was long gone.
