We’re trying to decide on a name for my band. We’ve really already decided but I’d still like to know what people think. Sound Barrier may be spelled Sound Burier.
i like sound barrier the most. no,wait, never mind. i didnt see the 2 words in front of ‘pace’. i like ‘out of pace’ and ’sound [...]
Were it possible to go faster than light-speed would you ride the crest of some kind of wave similar to that experienced at the sound barrier?
Well, the universe is expanding in which the velocity of 2 objects is proportional to Hubble’s Constant and the distance between the 2 objects. That means that things a certain [...]
I have noisy neighbors and I hear them all night through my bedroom window. I have some styrofoam insulation panels and wonder if that would make a good sound barrier if I cut them to fit inside and outside my window.
it will be much better than you have now

random question. i was just doing laundry, and my washer was spinning at a very high un-normal speed. i was wondering if the speed of a spin cycle could break the sound barrier if cycle was spinnig at a very high un-normal spped?
I suppose it could if the motor was powerful enough. I guess if [...]
How much does it cost per unit of length for a standard freeway sound barrier? I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks!
I can;’ swear to this but I’ve heard it’s a million bucks a mile.

It would be wonderful if you could find a video of pilots trying to break the sound barrier, but having their wings rip off and crash. Any good videos would be nice. Thanks in advance!

The typical cruise speed for a commercial jet is about 0.8 Mach. So with a lot of tail wind, would it be possible?
Thanks.
Or would it start to break up?
First, a tailwind (or any wind) does not influence the Mach number, as the Mach number depends on the plane’s speed in relation to the air, [...]
It’s more for aesthetic reasons than anything else. It’s bad enough having a massive wall along side you, people don’t want to be hemmed in from above as well!
I once heard that it’s to stop people hiding alongside them. I think that’s what you call "rubbish".

…to the position of the listener?
I think its the former as long as the aircraft maintains its supersonic speed. If multiple booms are heard then it must be because a single jet is decelerating and accelerating below and above the speed of sound.
Is that correct?
Thank you Captain J.
And thanks to all who responded.

I know that commercial flights are not allowed fly at super-sonic speeds. If the sound is a few second behind the aircraft, hasn’t that plane broken the sound barrier?
If a commercial airplane is directly above you, it is probably 5 miles up. If you are looking at it from some other angle, it [...]
