Putting music over footage like this is criminal.

This video should just be called "The Sonic Boom Remix"!

• Trying to hear Sonic Boom... All i can hear is crappy music 🤦🏻‍♂️

[synchole]

I'm here to listen to sonic booms, not to dance...

[aftranger]

I am just amazed how sonic booms sounds like music, great work of nature and you guys, keep it up

[LordOfNothingham]

I always thought a sonic boom sounded like a gun firing. Not techno music.

[orangutan-kiqx]

The best parts are when the boom muffles the music

[sangerofficialverifiedpartner]

I'm impressed by how the sonic boom can produce music with bass 🫢👍🏼

[chrishull]

Interesting. Sonic booms sound exactly like the crappiest music ever heard

[SAVAGESNIPER]

Yeah, let's put annoying music so that the focus points of the video are muffled by it.

Proceeds to showing the best example in the entire video.

I came here to listen to the sound Barrier being broken. Instead, I get some rubbish background music.

[purbidmusic]

Makes total sense to put background music in a video where the only thing to look out is a sound made by the jet. Great work guys!

[rsv]

What amazing machines man. The speed at which they are moving is mind boggling. Hats off to the amazing engineers that designed these.

one of my dad's buddies had to eject at 650 knots at like 6 thousand feet. he lost 4, 500 as he ejected, and 5, 000 when the parachute pulled. from what i heard from him, his left shoulder was dislocated, something happened to his knee and many other bad things happened.

moral: never eat cereal with water

[opus]

It would have been awesome but for the music drowning out the sonic booms... what a fail. No thumbs up

[SocialDem]

Makes video specifically to highlight the sound of something, plays music over everything.

[kayrawest-]

Dude these people complaining about the music are actually insane, people will complain about almost anything nowadays.

What have you all done rather than to take offense to everything?
