On foot? No. But the sound barrier has been passed in land and air vehicles. The sound barrier is also known as Mach 1, so anytime you hear mention of a vehicle travelling at a speed greater than or equal to Mach 1, or travelling at "supersonic" speeds, it's passed the sound barrier.

Why do balloon produces blasting sound when it explode with the help of needle?
Ever heard of a jet breaking the sound barrier (traveling faster than sound) and causing a sonic boom? Simply put a balloon popping creates a small sonic boom. You take an inflated balloon and make a hole in the latex, the energy released by the balloon in form of air, or gas, from inside the balloon expands the whole in the latex faster than the speed of sound. It is the hole expanding faster than the speed of sound in the air which breaks the sound barrier causing a sonic boom. Do you have idea what the first man made object was that could break the sound barrier? A whip. The sound you hear when the whip cracks is a sonic boom. Balloons weren't invented until 1824. We may not know when whips were invented, but it was definately before balloons.
Could the spitfire ever exceed the speed of sound?
Drag on an airplane increases greatly the faster an airplane flies, and so you need massive amounts of power to over come the drag as you break through the sound barrier, so under its own power no a spitfire could not fly faster than the speed of sound
Can a Bullet break the sound barrier?
Yes, easily. That is why most bullets make that characteristic "crack" as they're fired. That's the sound barrier being broken. Ever heard a whip being cracked before? It sounds exactly like a gunshot for the reason that it's the same thing happening. That is why so called "silencers" sound nothing like they do in the movies. They are not that "silent" at all because you cannot get rid of the sonic boom. However, some ammo is subsonic, meaning it is designed to go slower than the speed of sound. Subsonic ammo/rounds do not make the distinctive "whipcrack" sound as far as I know.
