the loudest thing I've ever seen(?)

So we all know that the sun is one of the brightest things... but here's a question I've never heard anyone ask: How LOUD is it? First off, I know what you space nerds are thinking: "STFU! It's space! And there IS NO noise in space!" Well guess what? YOU need to STFU and stop spoiling everything!!!
OK. Now that we've got that out of the way... Think about it. I really doubt the Sun is this gentle, rolling fireplace fire. It's probably more like a nuclear jet engine exploding in a firework plant... but on a planetary scale. Explosion after explosion for thousands of years now!
Or maybe not. One of the hottest things I've seen in a movie is the lava pit at the end of Terminator 2. I mean... something's got to be really hot if it can melt a Terminator, right? But they were basically whispering at the end of that part when Arnold told them he knows why they cry... so how loud could it be? Or maybe that was just part of the special effects?
At any rate, I know you Bitches don't like leaving comments, so I won't ever get a definitive answer. Maybe Sun loudness is just one of those topics that will have to be dealt with by the next generation.
Happy holidays, and...
You're welcome.
