Supersonic aircraft produce a sonic boom when flying faster than the speed of sound. To rule out detrimental effects for inhabitants of overflown areas, civil supersonic flights (like the Concorde) were only allowed to fly at supersonic speed when over water. Due to the progress in aircraft design, the supersonic boom may be reduced considerably in the future. In this study, listening tests were carried out with a variety of low boom simulations and conventional sonic boom signatures in a similar level range. Participants rated the lo
