The Super Hornets are very, very LOUD!

Apparently the F-35 is going to be even louder...and it's only a single engine. F/A-18F at Mil Power is 119dB where as the F-35 is 121 dB. You would think engine technology over the years would have developed a quieter engine but I guess being military they are not bound by the same regulations as civilian aircraft..
