I supposed the closest thing I can relate to it is, we used to go to Revolutionary War re-enactments as a kid and they would fire the cannons. It felt like getting punched in the chest. That was freaking awesome as an 8 year old. Probably explains why I think all the kids all mumble. Huh, what...
Like where do you live? Seriously, it's got to be military jets ... Don't tell me if you have to kill me though.
There are rules about sonic booms and populated areas, which mostly don't apply to military aircraft, but my understanding is they "try to comply" with FAA rules for civil aircraft...
