The more time passes, the more I think the sound is what separates Concorde from almost every other preserved aircraft memory. Photos can remind you. The sound can still unsettle you.
This archived Airchive thread remains online as a stable reference page, but the live conversation continues on the forum.

Concorde sound memories: what do you still hear?
Museum visits, departures, documentaries, runway-side memories. If Concorde's shape is visual memory, its sound is something else entirely.

I remember it in layers: taxi noise, the visual pause on the runway, then the point where departure stopped feeling like a normal takeoff at all.
