Space Shuttle Noise Deadening ...Why???

Almost a year ago, Rolf posted this:

Absolutely amazing..... but.....

Something that caught my interest ( amongst others things.... like the 150 inch Bashir(?) lens with 4000mm focal length, 250 pounds, at the 38:24 mark of the video.) .....

is ..... Why do (did) they have noise deadening devices for the Shuttle launches? ( 17:10 mark of the video is an example)

Whats the reasoning/ Science behind that?
Surely it cant be for the Public or Fauna....????
Anyone have an insight to that?
Ive had no luck on Google....must be those cookies & FB...

Cheers
