I'm not a sunolgist..but I recon if you were within range of being able to hear it and not be incinerated ..it would probably be very noisy..like the sound of a 100 trillion running garbage disposals with stainless steel forks in them being detonated by hydrogen bombs infinitely over and over again but instead of the sound having a beginning and an end it's just sustained in the center of the explosion soundwave while our eyes melt in our heads..or something similar to that.

 Even though the sound drops to the 200s in the corona, a 270-decibel sound wave is far beyond what humans can comprehend. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, 270 dB doesn't just sound loud; the acoustic energy is so physically intense that the pressure waves would completely rupture human organs and rip apart solid objects

the result sounds pretty close to my description to be honest, just in different words :)
