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.
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!
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.
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*
