Tornadoes can be very loud based on how big it is. The smaller ones may only sound like a howl of wind. The bigger ones can sound like freight trains though.

That was my perception. However almost everyone else says train.from the National Weather Services Storm Prediction Center's FAQ PageWhat does a tornado sound like? That depends on what it is hitting, its size, intensity, closeness and other factors. The most common tornado sound is a continuous rumble, like a close by train. Sometimes a tornado produces a loud whooshing sound, like that of a waterfall or of open car windows while driving very fast. Tornadoes which are tearing through densely populated areas may be producing all kinds of loud noises at once, which collectively may make a tremendous roar. Just because you may have heard a loud roar during a damaging storm does not necessarily mean it was a tornado. Any intense thunderstorm wind can produce damage and cause a roar.
