Abstract:

Manufacturers of business jets have expressed interest in designing and building a new generation of supersonic jets that produce shaped sonic booms of lower peak amplitude than booms created by the previous generation of supersonic aircraft. To determine if these “low” booms are less intrusive and the noise exposure is more acceptable to communities, new laboratory testing to evaluate people’s responses must occur. To guide aircraft design, objective measures that predict human response to modified sonic boom waveforms and other impulsive sounds are needed. The current research phase is focused on understanding how people will react to booms when heard inside, and must therefore include considerations of house type and the indoor acoustic environment.
