Ft Lauderdale has an air show every year in May. I live in a condo on the beach just ten minutes north of Ft Lauderdale. The B-2 always makes an appearance. All the planes fly over the coast, almost directly over the beaches. The come from the north and fly south towards Ft Lauderdale. You cannot hear the B-2. It's the freakiest thing. You see it large right there in the sky and yet it makes no sound.

However, the B-1 is perhaps the loudest sound you will ever hear aside from a commercial rocket launch. I've never heard a sound louder than the B-1. I heard it from miles away. It sounded like a motorcycle but nothing could be seen. It grew louder and louder. It took several minutes to appear in the sky. At the point that it was almost directly overhead, you could scream in the face of a person standing next to you and they would not be able to hear you. And it flies so slowly. So slow that it does look like it should be able to stay aloft. It was the "shock and awe" plane, and it is certainly heavy on the shock.
