Yes, at least on this side of the pond - IMAX specifies a very high quality sound system.
DO the HUSTLE with the B-58 BEAR-Able Ejection Pod SuperDuper Capable from Aviation History Jul 2018
The B-70 used a similar system. When the second B-70 crashed after the midair, the pilot who successfully ejected reportedly said he was really concerned when he ejected. The aircraft had gone into a flat spin, and the g-forces were such that he wasn't sure he could get his legs back far enough so that the pod wouldn't take them off when it closed for the ejection.
