Yes. Back to the Future: Sclog reports that a Hoverboard, ridden by Canadian inventor of Romanian descent Catalin Alexandru Duru, has broken the Guinness World Records record and delivers realistic performance targets!
Seriously, it looks like this is the equivalent of the Wright Brothers flight!
From the Guinness article:
Catalin reaches a height of 5 metres on his prototype hoverboard covering a distance of over twice that of two full sized football pitches before gently landing in the exquisite waters of Lake Ouareau in Quebec, Canada. He claims that the machine, which he built and designed over the course of 12 months, can be used anywhere and can reach 'scary heights' which he would like to potentially explore in the near future.

Yeah, but I am impressed that he could get that much power out of such a small package. As for the noise, I've seen from about a 1/4 mile LCACs from the LHD USS Essex landing on the beach near Kawaihae, Hi. in a large naval exercise 3 years ago. Now that was noise.
