"Even if they get an excemption, affected people will probably come with pitchforks and torches to the headquarter. These supersonic booms are really loud."

Agreed.

I grew up near[1] the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and I have a very distinct childhood memory of some cadet breaking the sound barrier over our town.

I was (figuratively) knocked out of my bed. It was unbelievably loud. I thought the world was ending.

To be fair, this was probably a very low altitude flight so it was probably much worse than a "normal" sonic boom.

Still...
