The path to the potential return of supersonic passenger flights travels through an artificial living room, specifically the Interior Effects Room at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, better known as the boom room. It's furnished like a typical suburban American living room, with bookshelves, a flat screen TV and stereo, curtains, paintings on the wall, a coffee table, and a chair and couch. Here, starting in 2011, NASA engineers sat down test subjects to listen to and rate their annoyance from recorded and simulated airplane noise. Button features the design of NASA's supersonic airplanes.
