I was in the Air Force. At one time, my dorm was about 100 yards from the
runway. Believe me, I know about ringing ears. The worst was when the U2
would take off. That is one loud mofo.

Actually our house right now isn't all that bad -- I rarely hear the jets
except in the distance, and that's when the windows are open. And our new
house is even farther away.
