The answer is yes, but it depends where on the world you're talking about. Thus, it's kind of a trick question because the speed at which the world rotates is different depending where you are: the closer to the equator, the faster the world is turning.
The speed of sounds is 1,236 km/hr.
At the equator, the Earth is rotating at 1,674 km/hr (faster than the speed of sound). At the Kennedy Space Center (28.59 degrees above the equator), the rotational speed is only 1,470.23 km/hr (still faster than the speed of sound).
Since the tangential speed of Earth's rotation at a point on Earth can be approximated by multiplying the speed at the equator by the cosine of the latitude, we could figure out where on Earth the rotation matches the speed of sound (1,236 km/hr).
Thus doing the math, we need to figure out what the variable x is in the following equation; the variable x represents the latitude at which the rotational speed matches the speed of sound:
1,674 km/hr * cos(x) = 1,236 km/hr
Simplying: cos(x) = 0.7384
Solving for x: x = 42.4 degrees.
So the specific answer to your question is that the world does rotate at the speed of sound, but only at approximately 42.4 degrees north or south of the equator.

With constant velocity the disc rotates at a constant speed?
Angular
With which constant velocity the disk rotates at a constant speed?
The disk rotates at a constant speed when the angular velocity remains constant. This means the disk rotates at a constant angular velocity, maintaining a consistent rate of rotation without speeding up or slowing down.
What is mach speed?

How fast is the sound barrier?
I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.
How is the speed of sound measured?
The speed of sound is measured by timing how long it takes for a sound wave to travel a known distance. By dividing the distance by the time taken, the speed of sound can be calculated.
Is speed of earth faster than sound?
The Earth travels at about 66000 miles per hour around the sun, much faster than the speed of sound which is about 750 miles per hour. Even as the Earth rotates, a point on the equator travels at a little over 1000 miles per hour so parts of the planet are faster than the speed of sound even without the orbit around the sun.

Does the earth's plate move at the same speed as earth rotates on its axis?
Earth rotates at roughly 1,000 miles per hour. Earth's plates move at the astonishing speed of fingernail growth.
With which constant velocity the disk rotates at a constant speed?
The disk rotates at a constant speed when the angular velocity remains constant. This means the disk rotates at a constant angular velocity, maintaining a consistent rate of rotation without speeding up or slowing down.
