Question

How can you pass a person in a machine of some sort (bulky) without them hearing you immediately.

Super sonic car, they won't hear you until a few seconds after you pass.

This is my first riddle.

or you could throw a concussion grenade at their feet and then they wont be able to hear you for hours.....

by the way if you put the answer into your posted riddle you wont get many answer posts because everyone will check their answer versus the spoiler rather than actually guess

no big deal just sayin if you want posts dont post the answer

Sorry but if you passed by someone close in a supersonic they would hear you immeadiatly. The reason you can't hear supersonic jets for a while after they pass is because the are far away and it takes time for the sound to reach you, not necceceraily because they are going faster than sound.

Since sound takes time to travel, you can pass them at any speed you like.

They won't hear you immediately.

Everybody's a critic!

Don't feel so bad about it. This is the basis of scientific progress, a bunch of grumps yelling at each other about how the world works. But I don't think that's quite what's going on here. So sit back and relax, while we make a list of possible alternatives.

1. Hope he's deaf.

2. Pass at a distance.

3. Take the subway.

4. Sit and wait for him to pass you, since passing is relative.

5. Hope he has an iPod

New thing: Pass without being heard. No disadvantages of any sort to person, in a bulky machine that makes noise, without a sound proof outside, not in a vacuum, nor on any material that stops sound, nor in a second dimension, not getting out of the machine, on ground level, and no secondary noises. And no I'm not planning on becoming a lawyer :) .

in a bulky machine that makes noise...

Considering that, you could take off your shoes and tip toe past him with ease, holding eye contact the whole time and mouthing, "Can't hear my footsteps over this racket, you 2nd rate hall monitor!"

Btw, I should note that I took advantage of the ambiguity in the wording of your question, whereby the guy is in the machine.
