^well... it at least lets you know there's a train at the launch position. Whether or not it launches is to be determined :P
As for loudest I have to go with Mantis, like many others. I love that roar as it winds through the course. I also love the sound of Magnum's chain if you're in the parking lot by SC. That's usually the first sound I hear, and I get really excited when I hear it.
I also like Mean Sreak as it squeals its way around some of those bends ;)

All of you B&M "roar" lovers should not visit Dorney or your love would fade.
Talon's supports are filled with sand to "mute" the roar and it works quite well.
As for sustained loudness at CP, I'd have to hand it to the anti rollbacks on Magnum and Raptor.

Ride on, MrScott!
I must say if you have ever had a chance to hear MF's anti-rollbacks when they are engaged, that is probably the loudest noise on point.
This is all irrelevant though, as we all know Gemini is the loudest coaster at cedar point.......

Da BEARS!
^^LOL, That was the first thing I noticed about Talon and Hydra when I rode them last year. I put them in my ninja coaster classification.:)
And I'll give some credit to Millennium's antirollbacks because I can hear them VERY clearly at the Resort gates in the morning during testing.
OH and I want to point out that while Dragster isn't the loudest coaster, it had the loudest speaker in the whole park. Back in 06, I was at the ramp waiting for Dragster to open up from downtime and an op came over the speakers (right at the ramp). Well let's say I felt the sound before I heard it. It was similar to the feeling you get if lighting strikes close to you. My ears we're ringing for a good while after that. They've since then fixed the volume.
