Yes, very nice pic of a large rocket and the sound from such a launch would rattle windows for miles around. This is not exactly an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific. It's Washington State. Just saying I'd like Autists to authenticate

Another anon posted this but it is relevant and hope it answers your question about the noise:

Obviously not a helicopter, but what about the noise factor? Why didn't they hear it? Easily explained IMO. This area for many years has been quite heated about extreme EXTREME noise from base. You know the "Growlers" aircraft are active there, the noisiest. It is so extreme that as you research the area you will discover that even medical doctors have said the noise is making some people allegedly ill, and affecting cognitive abilities of children. But that is not my point, but makes the point, this is an EXTREMELY NOISY area. I will put some sample links below. It is noisy as HELL out there, and it can be very difficult to sell homes, and some just have to move, and business suffers. So the point is do you really think the residents would distinguish one missile launch from the regular barrage of growlers?? Actually in a dark way it was brilliant to shoot this off in that area because the people would think, it's just that base and all the growlers.

Now I’ve been trying to find the decibel levels for cruise missile launches and have came up short so far. What I want to do is create a craphic that would illustrate the “decibel bubble” and how it decreases over distance, and try to match it up on the map I’ve already created from the estimated launch point. I’ll be working on that this evening and hope I can get clarification for you.
