OVER ON AUDIOBOO, one of the most congenial social networks on the planet, several people are discussing noise overhead, in the street, in their gardens and in their earbuds. To each, their own.
I used to live less than a mile from several runways, so not only do I know the roar of a turbofan and the blast of an afterburner, but I also remember the taste of JP4 exhaust wafting over my morning coffee. All those things came crashing home to me as beautiful noise in an Audioboo.
