Yes the noisy thing I can remember well, the noisiest tree fall I was around happened around 1973, my dad and I had been contacted to take down a large tree that was between a house and a high tension 3500 volt powerline, a parking lot on the left and a street on the right. We were to show up by 6:30 AM and take it down before things like traffic got busy. We just pull in at 6;05 on site to see the tree topple 90* to the intended fall direction, it takes out the powerline, pulls down a pole, blows a transformer, lands on the bosses near new 3/4 ton 4X4, top of the tree breaks off and does a 180* and bounces through the glass patio doors on the house. Well the noise took more than 30 mins to die down to a low background rumble, after all yelling and the sirens from the firetrucks + police subsided. Dad and I didn`t even bother to start up our saws, we didn`t want to be associated with that mess. Boss man thought he could save a few bucks and drop the tree himself with the help of one his yard apes.
Best part was that after all the dust settled he asked if our insurance would cover this mess if he paid us the original fee we quoted to bring down the tree. LOL
