yes. a sonic boom occurs when the aircraft breaks the sound barrier and all the time it is going faster than the speed of sound.
What vehicle is faster than sound?
Currently there are no regular vehicles that are faster than the speed of sound, although both the Concorde, and its Russian copy were faster than the speed of sound. There are plenty of military aircraft that are faster than the speed of sound. All spacecraft capable of reaching orbit are faster than the speed of sound. There have been two or three experimental vehicles, "cars", that have gone faster than the speed of sound as well.
