“severe noise” is a new one on me. Do they mean “loud and powerful” perhaps?

V-1 rockets just as a warning not to try breaking free from Brussels/berlin’s control

I happened to be up and sitting in my living room when it hit the atmosphere. I didn’t see it directly, but my backyard and my neighbor’s house lit up like a fireball was over the neighborhood, just briefly. I swear, I thought a plane was going down. Ran outside, waiting for a boom, crash, sirens. Nothing. Then later I thought maybe I imagined it (sleep deprivation). LOL. Then I saw the news later...

Probably the F-4 just hit his afterburner. That boom is quite loud.

The best actual sonic boom I experienced was a B-58. I was in the woods hunting. Saw just a glimpse as it went by, but being a geek I knew what it was.

Probably going after a Russian looking too close to London.

The articles I read mentioned that there was no fireball.

It had to have been kidney pies, or some contraband haggis;

Ode Tae a Fart

Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in your belly efter the feastie
Just as ye sit doon among yer kin
There sterts to stir an enormous wind
The neeps and tatties and mushy peas
Stert workin like a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin wi the sauncie face
Will have ye blawin all ower the place

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae
A’body’s gonnae hiv tae pay
Even if ye try tae stifle
It’s like a bullet oot a rifle
Hawd yer bum tight tae the chair
Tae try and stop the leakin air
Shifty yersel fae cheek tae cheek
Prae tae God it doesnae reek

But aw yer efforts go assunder
Oot it comes like a clap o thunder
Ricochets aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom
God almighty it fairly reeks
Hope I huvnae shit my breeks
Tae the bog I better scurry
Aw whit the hell it’s no ma worry

A’body roon aboot me chokin
Wan or two are nearly bokin
I’ll feel better for a while
Cannae help but raise a smile
Wiz him! I shout with accusin glower
Alas too late, he’s just keeled ower
Ye dirty bugger they shout and stare
A dinnae feel welcome any mair

Where e’ere ye go let yer wind gan’ free
Sounds like just the job fur me
Whit a fuss at rabbie’s party
Ower the sake o one wee farty

“Sonic booms.”

Over a major metropolitan area like London? In this day and age? If so, some hotshot flyboy is about to lose his wings.

Actually, not much of a bang as it has a multi-stage burner. Gets loud, but not the bang the old turbojets had like the F-8. Stood behind more than a few of them in my day.

It was both brutal and judgmental.
