The fighters make way more noise than any large commercial jet. I wouldn’t want to live in their flight path but I suppose you get used to it. Makes me think; I haven’t heard a sonic boom in years. When I was young I used to hear them all the time. I guess they must have rules nowadays not to break the sound barrier near civilian areas.
