  The Sonic Boom will sound more like your neighbours car door closing than an explosion

    A sonic thump could still be very disturbing. Maybe not break windows, but induce panic I a lot of people.

      Jesus fucking Christ, we need a word for cunts in the comments who’ll find any fuckin reason to suggest a really specific reason to be against/offended about something on behalf of someone else 😂

      Is there a word for that?

      Can we make one?

        May I suggest a blott?

        And what is so bad about not wanting sonic booms of any sort happening over my head?

      Oh gosh a noise the volume of a distant car door closing! Panic!

    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.

    Even regular planes have negative effects on the neighborhoods they take off and land over. This is definitely going to be worse.

    I’ll only believe the “low noise” PR if it flies supersonic directly over Malibu or the Hamptons and Nantucket.
