I wouldn't know, but it can't be too tall becuase in the book, saruman looks down from his balcony thing and talks to Gandalf, that is the same balcony that he talks to the orcs from, and then there is atleast 200-300 more feet above the balcony, and the balcony has to be in earshot of the ground, so your might be looking at 250- 350 feet

i dont think it really tells u how high they actually r.......and saruman could have been using his powers to make his voice louder...............in rotk it says he has a voice that is full of power.

the book said that sauroman's voice was magical because it was like hypnotic. and in the book, sauroman told gandalf he could hear him fine, and i don't think gandalf was welling at the top of his lungs

Orthanc is 500 feet, the wall around 100;
Minas Tirith 300 feet, the mountain 700;
I don't know about Barad-dûr.
Cirith Ungol was "only" 225 feet high.

Well, you mean how high the Hornburg (the fortress of Helms Deep) or how high/deep Helms Deep is?
Well, the wall is about 250 feet long; the tower itself was a little shorter than Minas Tirith (<300 feet), but I don't know how high exactly.

A little shorter then Minas Tirith - so maybe 200 or 250 feet, I think.
