Your post title just reminded me of a Delta flight out of Chicago about 17 years ago.
TWO aborted take offs. TWO. Both Compressor Stalls. And believe me, that kind of backfire on a plane at full power is loud in the passenger compartment.
They took us to the hanger and we literally sat on the plane while they inspected the engine(s), then we headed back out and ran the runway again.
This time no problem.
You could have heard a pin drop when the pilot applied full power the third time.
But no compressor stall.
There are a few funny details about this story I'll spare you.
Only time I had ever been on an aborted take off. And the ONLY time I heard a compressor stall - TWICE!
