Some fighters flew overhead when I was at the grocery store ages ago (I think it was some escort for the president of ) and it sounded like a bomb went off or something
A few years ago I was hiking in the middle of fucking nowhere, Utah, just enjoying the red rocks and seclusion, when an F18 rocketed directly above the slot canyon I was meandering through, banking hard to follow the general direction of the canyon and utterly frying my tympanic membranes for the next few tens of minutes.
I’m sure the military hardware fetishists would say I missed an opportunity for some kind of iconic photo of a fighter jet zooming through a frame of sandstone but all I could think about was how hard my ears were ringing and how disruptive that bullshit must be to literally all hearing wildlife.
I was maybe 100 feet below the top of the canyon and the jet couldn’t have been more than 500 feet above that.
This is all to say that if commercial aviation starts getting loud in places where I try to enjoy the nature I too will likely lose it
If I have to listen to sonic booms every fucking day I am going to lose it
the perfect heartbeat to a dystopia
they decided to bring the lebanese experience to america
I can’t even stand how common boosted subwoofers have become in cars over the past 10 years. Makes me want to hide in the woods.
your comment could have been made any time in the last 3 decades
Has it been exponential or something? Because my walls shaking feels much more regular now.
I thought it was worse 10-15 years ago, personally
the fad started late 80s/early 90s
It started then, but it’s really seemed to go from a rarity to a constant.
