Title says it all.

Even living out in the middle of nowhere there were regular sonic booms over the city and the outlying area due to a few military bases in the general area.

Do you remember hearing those growing up? Do you remember when they "stopped"? I feel like it was sometime in the mid to late 2000's that the "booms" stopped.

Nothing else about this really. Just wondering if some people are still hearing these or if its basically not a thing anymore in the more populated areas.

I guess a lot of people hated it but I always thought it was interesting and amusing.. As long as it was during the day an not late at night. Those were annoying as hell.

I heard them when I was a kid and we vacationed in Florida. I've mentioned to my bf a few times that I haven't heard one since I was a kid and it seemed weird. We've watched a couple of SpaceX launches on YouTube and I noticed they weren't picked up but maybe they mute it?

I go to the air races regularly but it doesn't seem like they ever let the demonstration jets go supersonic.

I don't think I've heard one since the mid 90s.
