According to Wikipedia (short form): The "boom" is experienced when there is a sudden change in pressure; therefore, an N-wave causes two booms – one when the initial pressure-rise reaches an observer, and another when the pressure returns to normal. This leads to a distinctive "doubl...

I remember taking a two week camping holiday in Cornwall in the mid 80's and wondering why I heard a farmer firing both barrels of a shotgun most weekdays at a little after 10 in the morning. Intrigued after a few days of this I spoke to the campsite manager one morning just after the bangs went off...
