(03 Feb 2015, 12:21 pm)MrFozz Is there regulations in place when it comes to creating sonic booms????
I can remember years ago, was probably still in Primary School(I can't really remember it) a Jet broke the sound barrier...It rattled windows all over the place, someone told me it felt like an earthquake and a bomb going off at the same time...I have survived 2 earthquakes, so it must have been quite scary 
Aye, there are rules.
It mentions in that article about being a certain distance out to sea during the training flight.
However, when something is amiss with a passenger jet and Typhoons are scrambled overland, then there isn't much anyone can do but hope for the best, if they fly over our house.
There was an example late last year, when jets were scrambled to intercept a Latvian cargo plane. The location of the cargo plane meant the Typhoons broke the sound barrier over a few counties down south.
