SpaceX Starship's Sonic Boom Creates Risk of Structural Damage, Test Finds
Briefly

The recent test flight of SpaceX's Starship generated noise levels ten times greater than its predecessor, the Falcon 9, posing risks of property damage in nearby communities.
Dr. Kent L. Gee highlighted that during the October test, noise levels were akin to standing 200 feet from a Boeing 747 during its takeoff, alarming local residents.
The study on Starship's noise emissions, published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, has drawn attention to the potential risks associated with living near the launch site.
SpaceX's Starship is not just a technological marvel; it now raises concerns reminiscent of the days when supersonic jets like Concorde were banned over domestic land.
