This article in Popular Mechanics reports on the recent use of military helicopters flying low over peaceful protests in our nation’s capital.
Helicopters at normal operating altitudes are too noisy, and at 40 feet over the ground are dangerously noisy. Flash-bang devices being used by police are also noisy.
If you are going to march in one of the demonstrators protesting police brutality and George Floyd’s death, put a pair of earplugs in your pocket.
Because if something sounds too loud, it is too loud.
