I remember hearing sonic booms while on holiday in wales as a child, just looked it up and it looks like a couple still happen every year

I assume the military can decide to be exempt from the law if they want

They can in the UK. Back in January, the QRA Typhoons chasing an unresponsive aircraft back in January went right overhead at 10000 ft at supersonic speeds. That was loud: https://www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/huge-sonic-boom-...
