How far can sound travel?
Discussion
As per the title. I heard an airliner in the climb the other night. I live in a city so it is never quiet. Checked the plane on an App I have and it was about 20 miles from me. This was a modern quiet ish airliner, not a noisy warplane.
A few years ago, I heard a firework display at my home. I knew where it was taking place, 9 miles away as the crow flies.
I know there are dozens of variables, wind direction etc.
Apparently in Kent, you could ear the guns of flanders.
