—You would not hear it...—

I mean as it streaks through the air, still 20 miles from it’s target. A large metal pojectile streaking through the air at many times the speed of sound would have to make one hell of a racket, preceded by a sonic boom, of course.

In Vietnam I used to drift off to sleep listening to the sound of long range artillery (155mm, 8” ???) whispering way overhead. When something started coming down, the old ears said to the sleeping brain, “Wake up everybody, INCOMING!”

You can definitely hear artillery shells passing overhead.
