If you have ever witnessed a rocket launching off into space you know what a feat of power it is. But for a team of BYU student researchers, the power of the sound is the key to understanding the impact of the launches. Monday the team of researchers are in Boca Chica Beach, Texas to collect data on the sound levels of the SpaceX Starship, the most powerful rocket in the world. “It was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard, for sure.
But even for him the Starship's sound was something special. “It’s got this low-frequency rumble that’s just overwhelming,” Gee said. “And then on top of it, you have this kind of high-frequency popping. I call it crackle. It’s a very unique sound experience.”Their study compares the acoustics to other powerful rockets. For reference, one Starship launch produces the noise equivalent to 10 Falcon 9 launches.
