The sound was only audible up to 3000 miles in radius, or about 1/13th the globe. It wasn't audible in the other side of the Earth (although it was detectable.)

The Tsar bomb was in the ballpark of a 50 megaton explosion, whereas estimates that I've seen for Krakatoa put it at up to 200 megatons. That said, there would be differences due to the fact that h-bombs are exploded at a height to max
