What you are asking is "what causes sonic booms?"

They are caused by pressure waves from an object traveling through air. When these waves reach the speed of sound the energy released is in the form of an "explosion".


Answer
These waves don't reach the speed of sound. They are waves of compression that are generated by an aircraft traveling faster than the speed of sound. This wave propagates out at the speed of sound, which varies by the density of the air. The shock wave produces a pop or a large bang, depending on the change of pressure levels across the shock wave.

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).
