The FAA spokesperson, Mark Weaver, disputes these claims and states that the noise level of the booms does not increase with speed. The FAA is conducting tests in Oklahoma City to determine the intensity of sonic booms and whether American supersonic transport planes can meet noise regulations. City leaders in Oklahoma City have been informed that the intensity of the booms is influenced by the altitude and weight of the plane. Pucinski has introduced a bill in congress to limit the intensity of sonic booms to 11/2 pounds per square foot. The FAA is working on a report on the issue, and the outcome of the tests in Oklahoma City will help determine future regulations on sonic booms.

The Federal Aviation Agency has streamlined the process to ensure fair treatment for all citizens submitting claims. Qualified structural engineers review damage reports, and adjusters and engineers are not coerced into filing negative reports. The burden of proof is not placed on the property owner, and each claim is adjudicated based on potential sonic boom damage. The Tinker Claims Office reviews and adjudicates each case individually, and in response to suggestions, future denial letters will include the cause of the damage as determined by the engineer.

The study will involve flying aircraft over structures to measure the impact of sonic booms, with the goal of understanding public reaction and potential sleep disturbances. The study will be conducted in two phases, with detailed planning based on the results of the first phase. The U.S. Air Force will be generating the sonic booms, and two contractors will be providing technical support and data collection. A press briefing and press tour of the site are scheduled to provide information and coverage of the study. Text
