I was on the NASA causeway so I was only about 6.5 miles away from Lanuch Complex 39A. Actually, I don't remember hearing it. I was so focused on watching it go and I had my radio turned up listening to Mission Control in Houston. I will have to go back to the video and see if I can hear it.
I do believe you can get a little closer. NASA has their invites view the launching from the Apollo/Saturn V building which is a clear shot and probably 4.5 miles or so from the launch pad. By the way, in Billy's post it talks about tickets selling out fast. I was told it takes about three minutes for all of them to go for the causeway. I really couldn't even guess how many people were out there, but it was packed.
