The sound barrier is formed by pressure waves building up on each other. Imagine a singer. If you have a second singer sing with them it sounds louder. Add more singers and the loudness goes up. This is because the sound waves are constructively interfering with each other or building up. The same happens with the sound barrier. The pressure wave built up has a very high intensity but, because all of the sound waves occupy the same space, the wave creates a very short, but loud "Boom."
No, helicopter blades do not break the sound barrier. The tips of the blades can approach the speed of sound, but the entire blade does not exceed the speed of sound.
Concorde was able to break the sound barrier by using powerful engines and a sleek design that minimized aerodynamic drag. By generating sufficient thrust and overcoming drag, Concorde was able to reach speeds beyond the speed of sound, allowing it to break the sound barrier.
Breaking the sound barrier occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a shockwave. To accomplish this, an object needs to generate enough thrust and acceleration to overcome aerodynamic drag and reach supersonic speeds. Aircraft and some vehicles can be designed to break the sound barrier with specialized engineering and propulsion systems.
To break the sound barrier in the Earth's atmosphere, an object must travel at a speed of around 767 mph (1,235 km/h) at sea level. This speed is known as the speed of sound, or Mach 1.
The Bell X-1, a rocket-powered aircraft, was the first man-made item to break the sound barrier in level flight in 1947. It was flown by pilot Chuck Yeager.

Only jet fighter planes break sound barrier now.

Concorde breaks the sound barrier at 2.02mach Super sonic aircraft break the sound barier. They used the plane x-1
Yes, depending on which aircraft you have but there is no indication that you have broken the sound barrier unfortunately.
NO
Yes
Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.
it will break loudly
