Study from Rollins College shows rocket launches ‘feel’ louder than readings show<\/p>\n

\"Meghan<\/a>BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A new study is meant to establish a baseline for what rocket launches sound and feel like on the Space Coast.<\/p>\n

Rollins College physics professor Whitney Coyle, alongside physics students through Rollins\u2019 Collaborative Research Fellowship Program<\/a>, was commissioned by the city of Cape Canaveral to establish a baseline for rocket noise and vibration.<\/p>\n

The team placed sensors at five locations, collecting data from 34 launches and booster landings between October 2025 and May 2026.<\/p>\n

Blue Origin\u2019s New Glenn rocket produced the highest peak sound pressure. The loudest acoustic event recorded was a sonic boom from a SpaceX Falcon Heavy booster.<\/p>\n

Those loud booms did not register particularly high on a decibel reading.<\/p>\n

The study also found that large sliding glass doors rattled more than small windows. Air quality levels remained below federal daily limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Study from Rollins College shows rocket launches ‘feel’ louder than readings show BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[161457,13372,161458,1767,42714,5985,7938,122495,70760,13963,139,141,140,161456,5748,82174,11273,56144],"class_list":["post-406651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-baseline","tag-blue-origin","tag-booster-landing","tag-cape-canaveral","tag-datum","tag-location","tag-may","tag-new-glenn-rocket","tag-new-study","tag-october","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-rocket-launch-noise","tag-rollins-college","tag-sensor","tag-team","tag-vibration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
