Its becoz....when we are about to click our thumb and middle finger, the ring finger forms a base at the base of thumb with the help of little finger. Now when we try to click the middle finger against the thumb, it forcely pops on the space between ring finger and base of thumb , creating a popping sound . We can also produce sound by avoiding ring finger but the quality lowers.

Snapping your fingers creates vibrations in the air at a certain frequency, as do most movements in the Earth's atmosphere. When these vibrations reach your ear, all the internal bones and muscles transmit them to the brain, where it is interpreted as sound.

If any sound is produced, it would be due to the vibration of the different materials(bone,tissue, cartilage etc) that composes the finger as it breaks.

Does the speed of sound depend on whether it is made by an airplane or person snapping their fingers?

No, but the speed of sound can be changed by the Doppler effect. Such that if the plane is coming towards you it will reach you faster then if it was traveling away from you. Same with the snapping, if a person was coming towards you it would reach you faster, if moving away would reach you slower.
