Launch platform configuration would also be included as an input consideration when this modeling capability has been fully developed in the rocket noise model, RUMBLE.

... 4-3 variety of commercial space flight vehicles. Finally, to quantify and assess RUMBLE's accuracy, validation tests should be performed to compare the input-output transformations of RUMBLE to the noise measurement results from the actual tests.

... 4-7 Because rocket noise and sonic boom typically do not occur at the same ground location, this should be factored into the data collection effort. Although it is possible to measure the noise exposure and sonic boom exposure from the same flight operation, in two completely different geographic areas, it would require two separate measurement teams.

... 4-10 The primary output of PCBoom should be used as the measure of performance. Direct comparison of the measured and modeled sonic boom metrics, at each measurement location, may be used to identify discrepancies in the model related to a particular boom metric or to a more fundamental element of the model, such as the propagation algorithm.
