Did you actually read the article?
He's proposing allowing sonic booms below certain decibel limits that are apparently below what any aircraft can achieve today. So your experience with airshow sonic booms is not directly relevant.

Even current aircrafts’ air braking is loud enough to be annoying as hell (to the point where people routinely complain and force airports to move approach routes).
The air brakes sound something like “dew-yoooouuuuu”. Not sure what the actual name of the hated thing that makes the noise is.
Properly executed landing in airliner doesn't use airbrakes until touchdown (where they are used among other things to ensure airplane doesn't accidently lift from runway and are triggered by pressure sensors on main gear).
To quote a certain pilot's response to ATC: "Air brakes are for when I fuckup, not for your fuckups"
No, the better thing is to demonstrate the lower number as achievable first, then change the rules to go into production.
