Blast on site is most deafening (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noisiest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'most deafening' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are superlative adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'blast on site is' is the wordplay.
'on site is' anagrams to 'NOISIEST'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noisiest that I've seen before include "Making the loudest sounds" , "Making the most loud sounds" , "Biggest racket" , "party being at this extreme?" , "Making the most sound" .)
