... 1 This document includes user guides for the RUMBLE Version 2.0 Launch Vehicle Acoustic Simulation Model and the PCBoom Version 4.99 Sonic Boom Model for Space Operations. These user guides were developed along with a companion research report for ACRP Project 02-66, "Commercial Space Operations Noise and Sonic Boom Modeling and Analysis." Published as ACRP Web-Only Document 33, it describes the development of two models to predict noise and sonic boom from commercial space operations from an environmental noise modeling perspective.

... Introduction 3 exposure occurs off coast in uninhabited areas. If SpaceX plans to recover the Falcon 9 first stage for reuse, then the first stage will generate a sonic boom during its reentry phase and the boom exposure will occur partly over land, with the highest boom levels occurring near the landing site.
