sobek Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 and +10 db measured sound is double. A weighting doesn't work particularly well for military jet engine noise. D weighting was abandoned for civil high bypass engines but may still be used for low bypass. Spectrally i guess that afterburner noise is closer to a low bypass design. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
txmtb Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I'll agree with that for sure. There was always a perceptible difference in Mil power and AB takeoffs. I would never have said it was half again as loud if asked, just that it was noticeably much louder. When you get that loud to start with, it's just plain loud.

doright Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I was across the runway from you then, about the '87/'88 time frame. Right in the middle between the taxiway and the runway. Best airshows I ever saw where not open to the public. KC135 practicing extreme airshow style manuevers (in retrospect not the safest thing that close to an large urban area). A mock attack by a wing from Tinker (afair). A F16 factory pilot demonstration flight. The F16 demo was amazing because it was displaced from the McConnell flight line towards the Boeing side and I just happened to be working on the ramp that day prep'ing a test flight.
