We're about 10 miles (as the crow flies) from Houston Intercontinental Airport, and live with constant airplane traffic noise. The g-kids sit out back and watch the planes. When one comes directly over, we shout out, "Don't flush!". I haven't heard a boom in awhile, but some planes are definitely louder than others, depending on the weather and such.

My parents' property, which is now part mine, in Louisiana, borders with the Army base, Fort Polk. I grew up listening to bombs and blasts when they were on training missions and believe me, it seemed constant as it was during Viet Nam and everybody knew when they got stationed at Fort Polk, their next stop was Viet Nam. Night training was scary!
