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."

Do helicopter blades break the sound barrier?
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.
How can Concorde brake the sound barrier?
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.
How do you break a 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.
How fast do you have to fly to break the sound barrier?
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.
What man made item was first to break the sound barrier?
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.
