In Perth, felt nothing.
Yes, it definitely does. The F111's used to occasionally create sonic booms when they were around and exercising from Pearce. Nothing recently because only rarely is a supersonic capable aircraft operating near Perth.
Thats literally all they do, Perth now just reposts from Perth Reddit pages. They've been at it for ages now
‘Cracking Mach’ is my new favourite phrase
They were over Rockingham of the coast... and thats where the boom was... :D
Doesn't need to be. Out at sea noise and shock will carry
They're definitely careful about it but particularweather and atmospheric conditions can cause sound to propagate further.
I'm keenly waiting for the cause.
I trust that you are correct.
Singapore pays us money in exchange for airspace, facilities, and training for their air force, as they don't have much space in their tiny country to do so without annoying their neighbours.
Not an accurate page at all. It's crowdsourced, so if someone points their location and says "felt" then it shows as unconfirmed
Bull Creek, we thought the same thing! We’ve got a building site 4 doors down, sounded like they dropped something really heavy
Same area but on the residential side of the train line, doors and windows all shook
In PK, I thought a pterradactyl landed on my roof. Was outside checking.
Yeh you can’t train blue force / red force very well if everyone can pick each other up on ADS-B
Lol glad I'm not the only one who opens the flight radar before I remember the world doesn't work so orderly irl and it's 2024 now 🤣
X2 for nothing in Woodvale
Nothing in Bali
ZOMBIES!!! the invasion has already started! I gotta get home lol
Southern Hemisphere
Ditto, windows rattled and i went to check nobody had driven into the house
Yep, said as much above 🤣
No mate. Our work is top class!.
Being a concretor you’d assume I would be
like Raspberry Shakes?
Thank you for clarifying
No bobo, es ult on cd
ECHO SLAMMA JAMMA
SEA server has infested Perth confirmed
Got jobs ma in Perth Brader, recommended xia
Need job to feed my self bro, slide dm
I'd consider Beirut to be pre-shook...
Yea at 30,000ft (should produce a 48km wide cone) ... It'd be pretty stupid if they were flying that high and that close to Mach 1?
Yea. Saw and heard one in Mullaloo from the kitchen window in the early 70s. Rattled the windows a lot. Looked pretty spectacular too.
ATTENTION Perth Now reporters:
Get a real job.
Sir, we're a highly renowned news organisation.
I'll have you know we use content from lots of other subreddits, not just r/Perth to provide our readers with the best possible news coverage.
Sounds like an alternate reality breaking bad
Yep. I’ve been chatting with some of my circle from Pearce and it’s sounding like that’s what the go is
Yeah I figured that to be the case but thought they'd use the much closer Learmonth and Darwin bases 🤔.
EDIT: Just checked a map, they're not that much closer really
Nothing in Tom Price.....
Perth overseas territories don't count either.
My kid really wants to see them, so was wondering what areas they were flying over.
EASIEST MONEY OF MY LIFE
They were probably out to sea and the mach boom deflected off the water. Also, mach is not a constant, so they might have been going slightly under M1 but caused a boom.
Social media SLAMS popular news outlet!
(Can I collect a pay check now?)
Maybe use more content from r/worldnews and less from r/entertainment if your goal is to be highly renowned.
Underrated alt
Maybe do a crash course in integrity and background research before reporting rumors when facts can be found by using your journalism degrees. Unless you dont require those anymore.
Highly renowned…….but not in a good way
Of course you're lurking here. You are an absolute joke, not "reporters" or even highly renowned. Unless you consider being thought of as "shit" as being highly renowned. Maybe boomers read your "content" that you found here? Get a real job lol
I have this feeling you know what you're talking about, but I can't quite put my finger on why 🤔
You're right, Mach 1 is not a constant... but cruising at Mach 0.9 and "accidentally" hitting Mach 1 is pretty reckless as I find it difficult to believe that there is such a difference in air density (whilst cruising) that would cause Mach 0.9 to become Mach 1.
Got em
Bro do you really think they're a Perth Now employee?
asl?
F/35/Williamtown
Mate they are on exercises they arent just cruising around
F/15/SOR
Sure, but I'd expect most exercises would be conducted between Mach 0.6 and 0.9, and well out to sea and their ceiling altitude be less than the distance to the nearest civilian cluster.
Personally, I dont think its a big deal. In fact I think its cool that there are finally some fast jets in WA, they can sonic boom all they want for all I care.
Until your windows break because they were being reckless...
I was at home making lunch around Beaconsfield/south Fremantle area and heard a very loud deep bang noise, followed by a shock wave where all my windows and doors rattled, anyone else heard this?
My first assumption is a gas tank exploding or a road incident.
Gina rolled outta bed
I thought it might have been the airforce but nothing on flight radar, years ago one of the hornet pilots visiting from over east went supersonic way past rotto and it made everyone’s windows shake
Felt/heard it in Armadale. So whatever it was it was big
Thought a car crashed into my house it was that loud.
A second smaller rumble about 5 minutes later too.
https://www.917thewave.com.au/news/local-news/geoscience-australia-confirms-big-bang-that-shook-homes-not-an-earthquake/ Confirms not an earthquake but are investigating.
I felt/ heard it in Gosnells/ Huntingdale.
Might be the Singaporean F15s hitting the sound barrier.
I was out around Wanneroo and the RSAF F15s are up and about so wouldn’t be surprised if they were ripping down the coast and went supersonic
Meth lab explosion?
A few years ago, my windows rattled, and my whole house shook. I thought it was an earthquake. I later found out it was from military jets breaking the sound barrier out at sea during a training exercise. Apparently, they were 50kms out, and the shock waves still made it to shore and rattled the house.
Yep South Freo/Hammy Hill also. Thought something crashed into the house
Doors and windows shook in Beeliar- heard what sounded like an explosion boom at the same time.
I'm in Waikiki and felt two tremors. My farther inlaw is in Coobi also felt it
[https://www.emergency.wa.gov.au/](https://www.emergency.wa.gov.au/)
This has an incident in Bertram, Near the school so hopefully not that.
No quakes reported on the geosciences page.
Felt it too in Bull creek. Sounded like a boom and the windows rattled. Was around 11.30
I’m in Spearwood and heard it so loudly that I just about levitated. Windows also rattled a fair bit.
Sonic booms from Singapore F16/F15s
Another post about this too. Apparently something on 6pr?
We overdid it with an acetylene bomb once. Shattered windows in nearby shops. Locals thought it was a helicopter crash 🤣
This weeks is the airforce training hitting the gas a little hard no doubt.
Spoken to a few armed forces fellows, rumours of a joint RAF and USAF training exercises around Rottnest island
Yes. It's not the plane you are hearing. It's the sonic boom. Which is extremely loud and comes with a shockeave. Ex military aircraft tech here
Sonic boom from aircraft training out to sea
I thought I heard something about 11:15 -11:20 in Medina
Whitby Mundijong and Byford also.
Felt it and heard it in Jandakot, sounded like an explosion far away ... mate says testing weapons on Garden Island
Airforce doesn’t fly low on the sound barrier above cities, as windows can be smashed pretty easy , which means millions of dollars that they have to pay when they are sued

Felt a rumble in Singleton around that time. If it was the same thing it made a bit of distance
Felt and heard in Mandurah, too
