For me, it has to be my Bushmaster AR with an AK-style compensator up front. M193 touched off indoors with that thing is quite the kaboom. My roommate in college had a Mosin M44, however, which was definitely louder.
 
By far, my Mosin-Nagant M44. I have heard few things short of a .50BMG that are louder at the range.

Next one behind that would be either my PTR-91 with flash hider, or my 18" Remington 870 Express Magnum Security model, when using 3" magnum loads. The shotgun, when firing mag loads, has a muzzle flash about the diameter of a basketball. REALLY cool when shooting at dusk.
 
Guns I own:
Rifle: Ruger M77 MkII .30-06
Pistol: CZ-52

Guns I've fired:
Uncle's Barrett M82
 
I know it's strange, but nothing I've ever shot is louder than an excam 22lr sa revolver I used to own. Not much in the way of concussion, but man it was a pop!:what:
 
7mm Rem out a 24 inch barrel.

Some people claim 3" Mag shotshells are louder but I dont buy it. The crack of a rifle hurts my ears more than the boom of a shotgun.
 
Browning A bolt 7mm mag with a BOSS. Guys on the bench next me asked me to leave or wait til they do.
 
My Mosin 91/30 is a boomer.
Romanian TTC is definitely an attention getter, one guy at the range thought I was shooting .44mag!
While not comparatively loud, my Baby Browning is a rambunctious little sucker, I call it the "Noisy Cricket", kicks pretty good for a tiny gun too.
 
6" .357 model 66.

I made the mistake of shooting a deer out of a wooden ground blind with it w/o hearing protection. That was 2 years ago and I still have constant ringing, and significant hearing loss from that one incident. *please wear hearing protection, it doesn't make you less manly*
 
.358 Norma Mag pushing a Speer 250 gr bullet at 2750 fps.

Every time I take it to the range, people ask me, "WTH is that thing"?
