Yes, that most of all, I had forgotten about that!

It's amazing, all the little things that go into these designs and procedures to address problems that most folks weren't even aware were present!

 

That's why they say "Water sound suppressing activated" or something like that when that's activated. Because in the ICBM days, launch Silos had protective pads so the sound wouldn't tear everything to pieces (and a rocket w/ a nuke on the top shouldn't explode in the silo :D)
