   Just limiting supersonic flight (military or otherwise) to areas over
ocean doesn't always work in protecting the populace from the noise of
sonic booms. Under certain conditions those booms can travel for a great
distance.  There was a tremendous stink about ten to twelve years ago
along the coast of South Carolina regarding what were called "airquakes."
These strange vibrations were quite a mystery in an earthquake-gittery
region. To make a long story short, the airquakes were finally traced to
supersonic military aircraft far out over the ocean. As soon as the
media published the military sonic boom explanation, the airquakes stopped.
