We generally refer to the sound we hear when a supersonic object passes somewhere in our vicinity as a sonic boom.

A sonic boom is the shock-wave created by an aircraft accelerating past the speed of sound breaking through a pressure-wave formed in the slip-stream around the aircraft's nose.

Why is the blue flame noisier than the yellow flame on a Bunsen burner?
because it's burning more violentlya2. In detail, the flame front is a continuous explosion, travelling faster than the local speed of sound. The gas-air mix reaches explosive mixture levels, explodes, but in doing so it now is removed from the region of explosive mixture, and returns to that point by normal burning. Only to reach the explosive mixture point again. many times per second.
