I was at the stadium for this 6 by Guptill, which was amazing. You're seeing plenty of 6s and then you see something on a different scale and the crowd noise is just ver different.
But in doing that google search, came across this one from Kemp of Bond .. holy cow!

1983 Lance Cairns hits 6 sixes at the MCG. Two of them were off D.K Lillee but the most memorable was the one where he hit over deep square

The six Astle hit during his 222 off Caddick over his head was something special, sounded like a shot gun.

Here's how Geoff McLure describes a famous six and the fun that followed.
IT HAS been described as one of the greatest hundreds in Test history — and, the shot that brought it up as one of the most memorable strokes — but the funny bit was what followed. We refer to Doug Walters' famous last-ball-of-the-day six which secured him a ton in a session against England in December, 1974, and in particular the dressing-room shenanigans that followed, and which now finally gets told in detail from the inside, with the release this week of a book, titled One of a Kind, The Doug Walters Story, written by Walters' friend and former teammate Ashley Mallett. Expecting to be embraced by all of his teammates, Walters walked up the stairs of the stand to the thunderous applause from the Perth crowd who had cheered him all the way from the wicket, only to find the dressing rooms empty. Suddenly the roars of the crowd were replaced by silence with his teammates nowhere to be found. As Walters was to note later: " 'You bastards,' I thought. Here's a man hitting a six off the last ball to complete a century in a session and you haven't got the decency to be there to hero-worship me when I get back. You probably didn't even watch the last over. 'Where are you, you bastards?'." Little did Walters know that he, the master practical joker, was this time the target, that Ian Chappell had ushered of all the team to the showers at the back of the dressing rooms, albeit with the door ajar so that they could all clamour for a look on the batsman's face when he realised nobody was waiting to greet and congratulate him. Walters takes up the story: "Then Ian Chappell burst through the door to the showers and gave me a blast. 'You dopey bastard. What do you mean by playing that totally irresponsible shot and getting out on the last ball of the day. Haven't you learned anything about team first, individual second'. "Jesus, that's lovely, not only had Chappelli not seen the last over, but he's stuffed up what's happened anyway. Chappelli glared at me for a couple of seconds. Then he broke into a huge grin and gave me a hug — the pre-arranged signal for the rest of the guys to emerge from hiding in the showers." Not that Walters missed out on being hero-worshipped. According to Mallett that night Walters didn't have to raise a finger (except to light another cigarette). "The beers flowed. The boys opened the cans for him. All he had to do was sit back and enjoy."
