The supersonic boom is the force created by an object exceeding the speed of sound.
The effect of it is quite measurable and can be dangerous.
When a plane is nearing the speed of sound, there is a buildup of sound in front of the plane. I suppose flying a plane at exact the speed of sound is somewhat dangerous as there will be a massive buildup of sound energy that only can spread out sideways and backwards.
As soon as this "wall" of sound energy is breached, it will result in a boom.
If you want to create such a boom, then all you have to do is to gain enough speed.
Make sure you have enough power to travel faster than speed of sound, otherwise the effect could be devastating.
Sound travels at a rate of 340.29 meters per second at sea level or approximately 760 mph. A sonic "boom" is created when the speed passes the speed of sound, and that varies depending on the air pressure.
Simple man made tools can easily create a supersonic boom in miniature.
One of the most common tools able of this is the common Whip. The tip moves at enough velocity in order to create a small boom when used correctly.

Does a sonic boom occur only when passing the speed of sound?
No, the "sonic boom" is the noise observed as a supersonic shockwave generated by an object already traveling faster than the speed of sound passes over you. Different observers hear the same shockwave at different times, depending on their location relative to the supersonic object generating that shockwave.

What is supersonic waves?
That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).
Can sonic beat super sonic if he did a sonic boom?
are you stupid? sonic IS supersonic...

yes
What produced a sonic boom?
movement faster than the speed of sound...:) precious A supersonic bullet is one thing that produces a sonic boom.
What has to happen for a sonic boom to occur?
for a sonic boom to occur, the object (usually a airplane)must travel supersonic or faster than the speed of sound(about 340 meters per second). The sonic boom continues as long as the object is supersonic. More info see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom.
Can any commercial passenger airplane cause a sonic boom?
In order to make a sonic boom, the aircraft must become supersonic. Most passenger aircraft are subsonic.
What makes a Sonic boom?
Most military combat aircraft can make a sonic boom, even space shuttles. The aircraft flies up to Mach 2, twice as fast as the speed of sound and can travel more than one thousands miles per hour, which is much faster than the speed of sound. A supersonic passenger aircraft can also beat the speed of sound (it is called air France the Concorde). A supersonic boat can also make a sonic boom and there are even supersonic cars the fastest land vehicle. There is a Russian supersonic bomber called the Tu-160 Blackjack and the United States has a supersonic bomber called the B-1 bomber.
