Maybe we just have different ideas of what quiet is…
Yeah, apparently we do…
The problem with Sonic booms isn’t that you notice them, it’s fine to notice the sound of a vehicle traveling overhead. The problem is that the sound from previous supersonic jets has shattered windows all along the flight path, ruptured eardrums and caused moderate hearing loss.That is a problem…
If this instead sounds like a car door closing, I’d call that significantly quieter.
I was at work in a bank (big, sturdy, multiple stories) when we experienced a sonic boom. It was heard/felt across several counties. We thought a bomb had gone off somewhere.
