The Concorde, which was retired in 2003, faced complaints (http://research.omicsgroup.org/index.php/Anti-Concorde_Project#The_Case_Against_Supersonic_Trans port) about loud takeoffs and landings as well as its sonic boom.
“Developing, building and flight testing a quiet supersonic X-plane is the next logical step in our path to enabling the industry's decision to open supersonic travel for the flying public," Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator for NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission, said in a statement (http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-begins-work-to-build-a-quieter-supersonic-passenger-jet).
