{TrueSound}™ The Real Sound of Falcon Heavy STP-2 Launch and Booster Landing with Triple Sonic Boom

  • The historic first night launch of Falcon Heavy, launching the STP-2 payload from Kennedy Space Center as seen from the viewing area at the end of Route 401 at Port Canaveral. We were 13.0 miles (20.9 km) from launch pad 39A, and 6.0 miles (9.7 km) from the landing zones.
    The camera shakes were not cut in order to keep the audio continuous. After side booster separation and the absolutely glorious boostback burn, there was a three-minute period of suspense as we waited to see them restart for the reentry burn. This was the only part cut from the video.
    We'd like to say the much anticipated pair of triple sonic booms is well captured here. However, nothing can replicate the experience of being there in person and actually feeling the shock waves.
    This was a new endeavor for capturing the real sound. We had two microphones set up in tiny coves near the water (to mitigate the sound of the crowd). When putting the video together, the audio from one mic (angled slightly to the left) was used for the left channel, and vice versa for the right channel. The audio levels were also brought down to reduce distortion as much as possible. Turn it up and enjoy!
    Special thanks to Matthew Ward for manning one of our cameras!

    Points of interest:
    1:26 - Sound reaches us
    3:00 - Side boosters shutdown and boostback
    4:39 - Reentry burn
    5:42 - Landing burn
    6:04 - Landing burn ends with a pair of *triple sonic booms!*
    For those hearing only four sonic booms in total, try listening at 0.75x speed. You should hear six because (1) there are always three from each booster and (2) there are six clear peaks in the waveforms.

    I got very lucky and happened across a lady who's brother worked in Launch Control for this mission. I was cleaning an airbnb house with a friend of mine, and the lady mentioned that the rocket was what brought them into town. My friend started talking before I could open my mouth to say anything and told her how much of a space fan I was. The lady told me to give her my name and number. I didn't actually expect a call back! I went out there with the people who built the satellites on board. I listened to them talk mostly. I don't know the math for this sort of thing yet. But for the first time in a long time, I felt like I actually fit in to the group. It was incredible!
    I called my dad, and it was about 2:30am, I think. I told him, "Dad, you will never guess where I am, what I'm doing, and who I'm with!" Of course, being my dad, he could tell nothing was wrong, and knew the only other thing I could possibly be calling at that hour for would be a rocket. I filled him in quickly, then he got to listen in on the launch, my running commentary (have flip phone, so couldn't video chat or take photos,), and the landing. I can actually hear myself shouting, "Wow! Dad!" when the boosters separated with that fireworks show. I didn't realize that I sound like such a young kid there! If I didn't remember shouting it at that moment, I would've mistaken my voice for a ten year old's! Lol! I'm twenty one!
    Planning on working out there someday! Truly an incredible experience!
    The Moon that night over the Delta launchpad was unreal!! It looked like a scene out of a scifi movie!! It was a wonderful night, and I thank everyone who made it possible for me to go out there, and the group that let me tag along!

However, the most impressive thing was that the sonic booms managed to travel all the way across 100 miles of the state and be heard and felt over here. Although subdued the separate booms turned into low roar that went on for about a minute. It did manage to shake the windows a bit as well. That Falcon Heavy is a very powerful machine!!

    Quite a few people are attempting to calculate the distance from the sound delay, but they are doing so with many errors. Here's the attempted math from one of our previous replies:
    Going back to the footage and measuring with Sony Vegas, the exact time between the first light of ignition and the initial sound (not the loud part, just the very beginning) is 57.04 seconds. Since the speed of sound varies with temperature (and the temperature varies since the sound is traveling to us over land and water), it's difficult to use an exact number...
    Assuming 77°F (25°C) and 90% humidity (it was much less at our location), the speed of sound is 347.8 m/s.
    www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-speed-sound-d_603.html
    This yields a distance of only 19.8 km (12.3 mi), contrasting sharply with the Google Earth distance of 20.9 km (13.0 mi). If we assume 86°F (30°C) this goes up to 20.0 km (12.4), which still falls short of the measured distance.

      There is a video from years ago of a manufacturing plant (rocket fuel?) on fire and exploding, it's isolated off in the desert and it's being videoed from a nearby hilltop ('nearby' being miles away). When the plant explodes you can see the shockwave expanding out in a circle, as it's closing in on the camera it goes out of sight for a second then "boom!" The delay in the sound reaching the camera is part of what makes the video so great.

    I have GOT to take vacation and go see one of these things in person. Absolutely mind blowing.

    That is a great capture of what it really sounds like and the delay that occurs. If you could only capture the feel of the shockwave on the landing. That is an amazing feeling to experience.

      Thank you very much! Nothing can beat the real feeling of those sonic booms.
