The speed of sound in air is 344metres per second or 1238 kilometers per hour or 770 miles per hour. In water sound waves move much faster, but slower at higher altitudes.

Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?

You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.
