You can't hear it, you might feel a rumble similar to a truck running over a pot hole in front of your house, it last for only 1 or 2 seconds and does no damage, most people don't even feel it.
But like fracking does the blasting send seismic shockwaves through the soil encouraging sinkhole formation and cracking of structures in the future. Only time will tell.
