SpaceX Says Starship Sonic Booms Pose No Threat

The sonic booms from SpaceX's Starship heavy rocket will be more powerful than those from its Falcon 9 rocket's landings. However, they don't pose an injury risk to surrounding areas, SpaceX blogged this week. It said the biggest issues will be around the launch pad, an area cleared in advance of launch and designed to withstand the effects of launches and returns.
