No, the crack of a whip is not a sonic boom. The crack of a whip is the sound made by the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier, creating a sharp noise. A sonic boom is the sound produced as an object moves faster than the speed of sound, creating a continuous shockwave.
A whip will produce a cracking sound if part of the whip moves faster than the speed of sound. This produces a miniature sonic boom.A whip will produce a cracking sound if part of the whip moves faster than the speed of sound.

The cracking sound of a whip is caused by a small sonic boom created when the tip of the whip exceeds the speed of sound. As the whip uncoils, it tapers to a thin tip, which accelerates and breaks the sound barrier, producing the distinctive "pop" noise. This occurs because the tip of the whip moves so quickly that it creates a sudden change in air pressure and temperature, resulting in the loud noise.
A whip cracks because when it is "whipped" properly, the end of the whip actually breaks the sound barrier. By swinging the whip back and then jerking it forward in a properly timed motion, the end, which is moving rapidly backward, is forced to very quickly change direction and go forward. It is at this transition that, if the motion of the individual wielding the whip is adequate, the end reverses direction so quickly that it breaks the sound barrier and the crack! of the whip is heard.
A bullwhip works like an extension of a human hand to speed the thinner-half of the whip and then rapidly change the direction of movement. When the change occurs, the tip of the whip actually breaks the sound barrier and makes the crack! of the whip.
Crack, as in the crack of a whip.
A horses loud neighing to another, (usually a stallions call), is sometimes referred to as a bugle.
Probably the whip. The distinctive crack of a whip is made when the end of it breaks the sound barrier.

A SNAP, A WHOOP AND A RIP!!!!!
The crack of the whip is the air molecules trying to push through each other and around each other after the tip of the whip breaks the speed of sound.
The sound effect for the "crack of a whip" is sometimes "whoo-PAH!"
The "crack" occurs when the wave of motion traveling down a whip surpasses the speed of sound. The wave can move so quickly because a whip tapers from the handle to the tip. When a whip is snapped, the momentum from the motion at the handle is conserved, and consequently the speed increases as the diameter of the whip decreases. Thus the wave gathers speed as it continues down the length of the whip, and when its velocity exceeds the speed of sound it produces a small sonic boom-the distinctive "crack". Dawie Venter
