I don't know what online tool you use to do TTS, but there are several TTS programs available that have a built-in recorder. Have a look here:

"Text to Wav Converter", fi seems very popular, free and very capable.

Sennheiser has the MKH 410-1 mic for just that kind of problem. Suitable for jet engines, explosions and other very, very loud stuff
