The whip, contrary to popular belief the "crack" the whip makes is not the sound of the whip hitting itself, it is a sonic boom.
When sound waves hit a barrier, they can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The barrier will block some of the sound energy, causing it to decrease in intensity as it interacts with the barrier. Sound waves can also diffract around the edges of the barrier, affecting how the sound is heard on the other side.
