I would have expected it to be the takeoff making all the noise. 105db at takeoff but 144db when the booster returns is what, almost 10,000 times louder at peak? I wonder what will have to be done to mitigate it, take more fuel up and slow down earlier?

Take-off makes a lot of noise, but the noise doesn't reach the observer on the ground the same way.
