Loudest Driver of All Time?

[GolfSpy_APH]

Not going to lie i am looking forward to this one. 

What one do you think is the loudest and did they miss on one you think may have been louder?

I had a Ping Rapture 2 that I believe cost me some of my  higher frequency range hearing.

I played a Sasquatch for years--a true fairway finder.  

When practicing, however, people would move far away from me on the Group W Bench.  It's hard for me to imagine a worse sounding driver.  I look forward to the test results.  I'll have to send the results to my playing partners if the Sasquatch doesn't win.  "See guys, it could have been worse."

Was it the loudness of those drivers that was bad, or more the timbre of the sound?

Another forum did a review on this back in 2015: Knuth High Heat. Apparently it was VERY loud!!! I doubt this will be in the MGS test.

I vote Sasquatch, never heard anything else that sounded like it.

I don't think I've heard a Sasquatch, but it can't be much louder than some of the old Cobra drivers. I can hear a guy in our league warming up on the range from the parking lot.

I had a Cleveland HiBore Monster XLS. As with all those square drivers,  it was very accurate.  But it sounded like a shotgun going off.  When I hit it in the store for the first time I thought I had broken it by the sound it made.

 square drivers were so loud

Ping i25 was another one that was very loud to me. Not to the degree of some of the others, but certainly the loudest I've owned.

I also vote Sasquatch.  A friend of mine I haven't seen for years played it; maybe he still does, IDK.  Other drivers may be loud, but the Sasquatch was deafening!

I don’t recall hearing a Sasquatch driver, but I played a highbore and it was loud so my vote has to go there.   I really liked that driver and I am not sure why I moved on; probably a just because type of switch.

Nickent 3DX Square is my vote.  The entire course would turn around to see who just hit. Driving range was always fun to watch people move away. Similar in design to the Sasquatch

I'll lock this down now guys, no need to move any further.  

 

Bonus points if you hit this with a range ball or a Pinnacle.

Good thing as an Admin I can still post in locked threads

Seems like there are definitely a few brands that are standing out more vs others.

Not sure if it can hang with the test pool, but my G400 Max was ridiculously loud.  Well struck shots would literally ring my ears, to the point where I had ear plugs in my golf bag, though I never used them.

I don't own it anymore but I believe the Cobra S9 was one of the loudest drivers. It sounded like aluminum bat when you hit it.

*to add to this... I always knew when one of my golf buddies was on the course because I could hear this driver. You almost never hear a driver more than a tee box away.

The MacGregor NVG and NVG2 were so loud I remember reading a review once that compared them to "a soup can on the end of a stick" and they were as loud as advertised.
