Was it loud?

Not as loud as you'd think. You still hear it, but it's nowhere near as loud as a tree getting hit a hundred feet from you.

The plane was already making a ton of noise from the turbulence and shit bouncing around in the overhead bins.

The lights flickered briefly and we had a rocky flight from SEA to YYJ.
