Narrative:
After being cleared for takeoff (to) I began to advance the thrust levers. Before reaching an EPR of 1.1 the first officer (first officer) [and I] heard a loud 'compressor-stall' like noise (boom; boom; boom) and felt vibrations/shuddering emanating from the engines.I immediately aborted the to and retarded the thrust levers.we had not begun the to roll yet. We obtained clearance from tower to vacate the runway. I also asked for emergency vehicles to shadow us to the gate since I could not be sure if the engine; albeit showing normal indications at idle; was damaged.while still on the runway and taxiing toward an exit taxiway I [advanced] the thrust levers for each engine separately in order to isolate the culprit. The right engine displayed the same symptoms as previously described (boom; boom; boom; shudder/vibration) again before reaching an EPR of 1.1.after return to the gate maintenance was called and the flight subsequently cancelled. Conditions on the ground: night VMC; light drizzle; 10 degrees C.old planes and engines...sometimes components just don't work as advertised.

Title: MD-80 Captain reported rejecting the takeoff after experiencing a compressor stall as thrust was advanced.
Narrative: After being cleared for Takeoff (TO) I began to advance the thrust levers. Before reaching an EPR of 1.1 the First Officer (FO) [and I] heard a loud 'compressor-stall' like noise (boom; boom; boom) and felt vibrations/shuddering emanating from the engines.I immediately aborted the TO and retarded the thrust levers.We had not begun the TO roll yet. We obtained clearance from tower to vacate the runway. I also asked for emergency vehicles to shadow us to the gate since I could not be sure if the engine; albeit showing normal indications at idle; was damaged.While still on the runway and taxiing toward an exit taxiway I [advanced] the thrust levers for each engine separately in order to isolate the culprit. The right engine displayed the same symptoms as previously described (boom; boom; boom; shudder/vibration) again before reaching an EPR of 1.1.After return to the gate maintenance was called and the flight subsequently cancelled.
