Neo, while I agree with you on the explosions, I must say that I don't fully agree with you on the planes. I live in an area which is heavily traversed by all manner of air traffic. We have everything from small single prop civil planes, to mid sized twin turbo prop private planes, to both civilian and military helicopters, v22 ospreys, prop driven commercial and cargo planes, private jets, and all sizes of commercial and cargo jets.
Many times you will not hear the planes untill they have flown over and past you.
There are many things to take into account, from how high the plane is throttled up, to barometric pressure, humidity, wind, the planes elevation... I've seen airliners up around 30 or 40 thousand feet and never heard them. I've seen single prop private planes fly over head where you only hear it for a few seconds, then nothing, then a few seconds, then nothing. Ect.
So, While Flash and Bang explosions from a distance bug the hell out of me, near silent aircraft until they are right over head I can accept.

Since Neo has reposted in TV & Media, I will close this.
