The pop singer, 34, who’s expecting his first child with wife Brooke Sansone, 26, lives near where the Air Force approved SpaceX to double its launch rate at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara, California.
“Hi @elonmusk …these sonic booms have gotten progressively louder since they started launching the rockets in Santa Barbara,” Puth wrote Wednesday on X. “This one at 3am today felt like 150-160 dB, violently shook our whole house, and really frightened my pregnant wife. I hope they do not get louder.”
According to the SpaceX website, a Falcon 9 rocket was indeed launched Wednesday morning at 3:40am. It warned that “there was a possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may have heard one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experienced depended on weather and other conditions.”
Wednesday’s launch was the 18th flight for the first stage booster supporting the company’s Starlink mission, which aims to deploy groups of satellites into low-Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet globally. The company has another launch planned for December 14.
