The speed of sound varies a lot, depending on the material through which it passes, and (to a minor degree) the temperature. In air, the speed of sound is about 330 meters/second, but in solids, the speed of sound can be several times larger than that. And yes, it is possible for an object to go faster than the speed of sound. Certain jet plains do that regularly.
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.
The supersonic object is hitting air molecules faster than they can get out of the way, so they pile up.

Yes they can do that. But they need a ultrasonic plane.

yes, bot not faster than light
at the speed of sound a shock wave is created; faster than sound the sound is behind you and it is called a sonic boom

A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.

Air sound travels slower when going through a solid object

The speed of an object traveling faster than sound is referred to as supersonic. For example, the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. Therefore, any object traveling faster than 343 m/s would be considered supersonic.
