I used to live under the Concorde flight path in and out of Heathrow, and yes, it was noisy (even travelling subsonic). Every day at about 1000 there'd be this deep-throated roar and the windows would start rattling[ * ], I'd look up, and there'd be this beautiful delta-winged shape sliding through the sky. It was completely unlike the noise a normal jet makes, more like a rocket engine than anything else. I can't say it particularly annoyed me; I liked knowing it came from Concorde. [*] To be fair, I didn't have very good windows.
