Some phrases do not always need a plural version; it stands for both the singular and plural. Consider these:
- - the applause of the audience -- You would not say 'applauses of the audience' because applauses is NOT a word.
- - the claps of the audience - You couldn't change claps to clap.
- - the laughter of the audience - You couldn't change it to laughters, which isn't a word.
- - the delight of the audience - You couldn't use 'delights' - here, 'delight' applies to the whole group.
Audience typically means more than one person and words we use about audience is assumed to apply to all persons referred to as the 'audience'.
However, some words can be made plural in this example--specifically for 'roar of', you could use 'roars of' the audience. But notice how 'roars of' changes the mental image of how and when the audience roared. 'Roar of' implies one, specific instance of roaring. 'Roars of' implies roaring many times, over a period of time. 'Roars of' also creates a picture of individuals each roaring separately, but as part of the group 'the audience'.
And if you wanted to refer to many instances of 'audience', you could use the plural 'audiences'. For example:
Michael Jackson entertained to the cheers of audiences around the world.
If talking about one specific audience:
Michael Jackson entertained to the cheers of the audience.

Plural : "The rockets' roar sent shivers..." Like many "fill in the punctuation" questions, there is no way to tell if the S is to make the subject plural or to form a possessive. If there were no S, you would add "apostrophe S" to rocket. If the plural form were irregular (e.g. "The potatoes skin had been removed"), then it would be obvious that the subject is plural and an apostrophe only is added.
