Have your wife stand on your right, six inches from your ear and your eldest son on your left, likewise, and have them both shout KABOOM on a count of three as loud as they can. That's about ten percent of the effect. It sounded like a preview of Armageddon. But the video was done in slow motion, which I suspect turns off the sound.

Thanks, Daniel. I love the individual frames. Especially the one with the bang. It was even bigger than I thought.
