im not sure, but i think it was so people below didnt get damaged hearing(sonic booms r v loud)
You can't really encounter a sonic boom, but sonic booms do occur when aircrafts exceed the speed of sound.
A separate shock wave is created by the front and back of the plane, they sometimes happen so close together that they sound like one.
The term sonic boom is commonly used to refer to the shocks caused by the supersonic flight of an aircraft. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created by the rapid heating and expansion of air in a lightning discharge.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom
The object in question exceeds the speed of sound. Due to the Doppler Effect, the object is literally leaving it's sound behind, causing a large low frequency boom as it passes
sonic booms happend when and object equals the speed of sound around 755 mph or mach 1

Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding a lot like an explosion. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created by the rapid heating and expansion of air in a lightning discharge. Sonic booms occur on a daily basis via aircraft.
From NOVA: Because the Space Shuttle is so large (122 ft long), you will hear the sonic booms created by both the nose and tail shock waves (they occur about one-half second apart). All supersonic airplanes produce two sonic booms, but because they happen so close to each other, you hear them as one sound.
No. The sonic boom will be created by any speed that is greater than the speed of sound.
We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.
Humans have been making sonic booms for centuries. When a whip cracks, that's because the tip goes faster than the speed of sound - a sonic boom.

When an object travels faster than the speed of sound in Earth's atmosphere, a shock wave can be created that can be heard as a sonic boom. Large meteors frequently produce audible sonic booms before they are slowed by the atmosphere.
