The Falcon-9 is the most-launched rocket in recent years, but a lot of what we know regarding rocket launch noise dates back to the Apollo era. In this episode, we interview Taggart Durrant about his research into the “triple boom” that the Falcon-9 produces when its booster re-enters the atmosphere. 

Associated paper: Jeffrey Taggart Durrant, Mark C. Anderson, Kent L. Gee, Logan T. Mathews, and   Grant W. Hart. Initial comparison of a Falcon-9 reentry sonic boom with other launch-related noise. Proc. Mtgs. Acoust. 46, 045002 (2022); https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0001579
