The "crack" occurs when the wave of motion traveling down a whip surpasses the speed of sound. The wave can move so quickly because a whip tapers from the handle to the tip. When a whip is snapped, the momentum from the motion at the handle is conserved, and consequently the speed increases as the diameter of the whip decreases. Thus the wave gathers speed as it continues down the length of the whip, and when its velocity exceeds the speed of sound it produces a small sonic boom-the distinctive "crack". Dawie Venter
Because the tip is travelling faster than the speed of sound.
When a whip is cracked, the end of it actually reaches the speed of sound. So the sound that is produced is actually a tiny sonic boom.
Cracking a whip makes a sound because the tip travels faster than the sound barrier.
The cracking of a whip is caused by the end of the whip going fasted that the speed of sound causing a small sonic boom.

I believe the Saturn V moon rocket was the loudest man made sound.
The Celesta was made in Paris in 1886 by Augusta Mustel. It is similar to keyboards in that one plays a keyboard to make a type of sound. It seems pretty deep in sound.
No, what we call sound are vibrations that travel through and are made up of air. Just like waves on the ocean. The moon has no atmosphere so there is no "sound".
Solar flares are common. They are whip like projections from the sun.
Mother Earth made war sound so Cronus can't hear the crying of Zeus.
A SNAP, A WHOOP AND A RIP!!!!!
The sound of a bullwhip is a "crack," or possibly a "snap," but there does not seem to be a separate sound for the impact of a lash.
Snap the Whip is painted by Winslow Homer
Crack, as in the crack of a whip.
Probably the whip. The distinctive crack of a whip is made when the end of it breaks the sound barrier.

a whip which is made by Chinese 7000 years ago is the first man made object that moves faster than sound.
That is a snap.
