Charlie Puth has a complaint with Elon Musk.

“Hey @elonmusk…these sonic booms have been getting louder since they started launching the rockets in Santa Barbara,” Charlie wrote on X.
“These at 3am today felt like 150-160 dB, shook our whole house violently and really scared my pregnant wife. I hope they don’t get any louder :/,” he added.
The 54-year-old businessman has not yet commented, but before the rocket launch, an advance notice was issued by the official SpaceX website, warning that the high-pitched sonic noise could affect some areas near the rocket launch area.
The statement read: “On Wednesday, December 10 at 3:40 a.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 27 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.”
“This was the 18th flight for the first stage booster in support of this mission, which previously launched USSF-62, OneWeb Launch 20, NROL-145 and now 15 Starlink missions. Following phase separation, the first stage landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean,” they continued.
SpaceX’s statement concluded: “There was a possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties may have heard one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experienced was dependent on weather and other conditions.”
