That's even more surprising that its sound penetrates a house in London. Writing this at 10.30 in the morning, I see it is still not there yet, being currently off Florida. Another one that left some minutes before, Istanbul to Miami, which you would have thought would be on the same route, has taken quite a different track well to the north, passing over Germany and Scotland, but they have finally nearly converged.
