You can tell they've never experienced a sonic boom before. I live in the "Thumb" of Michigan and would hear them all the time as I was growing up before they changed the laws because it was affecting the live stock production. The Air Force would do combat training out over Lake Huron and the planes would venture over land at times and break the sound barrier. No one I know had their ear drums blown out, though a few windows got cracked, lol.

That was not a sonic boom just the engines facing their direction after passing. You can''t do that to people that close. We have to fly 35-40k ft over land to go supersonic due to how much damage it can do. Cool thing is, inside the jet you don't hear anything and it fly's smoother, the opposite of what Hollywood portrays. I have in cockpit footage on my IG of going supersonic. But it's not exciting. From within thew cockpit it's just a number you pass.

@glitchingbee

Жыл бұрын

@@Handlesbar if it wasn't a sonic boom, then how come we didn't hear the jet coming? This is because the aircraft was going mach. If it weren't we would have heard a rumble as the jet approached the camera. Secondly, the middle of the ocean does not count as a civilian airspace. They are on an aircraft carrier somewhere in the ocean, meaning that they are allowed to go mach. And if sonic booms shatter eardrums, how come there are people there without ear protection? They might have earplugs, but this doesn't mean that they shatter eardrums. And if it did, how come the Concorde (a mach 2 civilian aircraft) was allowed to fly over civilian airspaces at one point? And finally, a .22 caliber rifle generates a sound around 140 decibels, while the average sonic boom generates a sound of around 110 decibels. This means that the average rifle is LOUDER than an aircraft breaking the sound barrier. And you don't hear people talking about rifles shattering eardrums, do you? If you shot a rifle without ear protection, it would cause severe hearing damage, but it wouldn't break your eardrums. Plus, 9mm police service pistols generate a sound at around 130 decibels, and cops fire them without ear protection all the time. In conclusion, they are allowed to do a mach pass because they are not over civilian airspace and sonic booms will not blow up your eardrums as they are quieter than the average service pistol being fired. Research stuff before you make such bold claims. (I did)

When the vapor cone explodes that is a visual of the sonic boom happening. It's Soundwaves creating friction. It only does it when it's very humid

I remember as a young boy living in the Salt Lake Valley, I would hear sonic booms all of the time until the FAA restricted the air speed of fighter flying out to the range in the west desert.

The listener will hear no sound until the sonic boom reaches them because as the source passes by, the frequency will be infinite. This is caues of the doppler effect. The sound waves are litterly on top of each other, which is a lot of energy.

best cameraman ever🎉

You counter that by saying "Hadouken!"

The stuff humans create is wild.

Fun fact! Fighter jets also create two sonic booms, just like the space shuttle famously did. It’s just that because of how small fighter jets are, the booms are so close together they sound like one.

@svnnyvib3z96

This can be proven by having a jet break the sound barrier from a far, as the first sonic boom will reach us first, then the second due to the slight lag between the two.
