AIRCRAFT SONIC BOOM: BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS (A BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH ABSTRACTS)

The selected abstracts of research reports cover the effects of sonic booms on humans, animals, birds, and fish. Discussions of biophysics, psychoacoustics, stress, and auditory tolerances are presented, along with materials on startle responses, disturbance, and compression wave reactions. (This updated bibliography contains 77 abstracts, 5 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
