Default HMS Victory Fires Full Broadside

Its nice to get an idea what a real First Rate Ship of the Line may have sounded like firing a full broadside. I would hate to be the French on the receiving end of this:

I seen her up close. She's so tiny and cute. Just down the road there lies the HMS Warrior; a ship that changed the world forever, and more to the point just looks mean.

Also, she represents the point at which the RN because less goddamned ridiculous in the post-sail era.

It sounds wrong somehow... I've read reports that when big ships and forts fired their guns, they could be heard from 30 miles away. This doesn't quite sound loud enough. Maybe because it's display-only broadsides?
