Not really, but I was listening to some music jotting some ideas down when my whole house shook violently. It seriously felt like a semi truck just plowed into the other side of it. Knocked my LCD off my desk, and sent my cats running.
I ran outside to see wtf hit my house, and I noticed all my neighbors outside with flashlights, looking around, at their roofs etc..
I didnt know wtf it was till I seen this on the news

I wish I could have been outside for it, now that I know what it was...probably one of the coolest things ive ever experienced. All the dogs around the neighborhood are still barking

I used to live next door to a military base and never did get used to the sonic booms. One would think they are not much different than thunder, but I never jumped at thunder the way I would at sonic booms. Perhaps it is because they are so sudden, without warning.

Cool! I heard a sonic boom twice. We (Holland) have a few F-16 and they are not allowed to boom overland unless there is some (terror)threat. Holland is almost one big city so I guess they scared a lot of people

i hear sonic booms all the time. Thunder, helicoptor rotors, small plane props. All produce sonic booms.

A whip snap may create a sonic boom, but it is weak, like the snap of a rifle. When a large plane makes a sonic boom nearby, you feel it deep in your chest, like a mortar going off next door.

I wish I could have been outside to judge it. I've heard them from jets before, and its pretty awesome feeling outside...
This one literally knocked stuff down inside my house, it might just be the shitty build of the house, or bad acoustics or something...
Can't really judge it in comparison to an aircraft util a jet flys over my house at the same speeds.
Fucking cool though, I wonder if anyone closer to the landing site has anything to say about it

I heard a loud boom one night when I was in 4th grade. I was staying over at a friend's house and we went outside to see if it was thunder... Nope, stars in the sky. We asked his dad and he said it was probably just a sonic boom. So we accepted that it was a sonic boom and went to bed.
The next day they announced on the news that a pipe bomb exploded on the roof of the elementary school behind my friend's house. I guess that's kinda a sonic boom
