NASA's flight will validate and improve the computer models that Boom is using to design their plans.

Is this a stated plan of Boom's (in particular, with regard to noise), or speculation?

Boom's page on why their aircraft won't have the same fate as the Concorde focuses purely on (fuel and route) economics, not noise [1].

This video doesn't mention sonic booms, nor NASA, at any point.
