A sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock wave produced when an object moves through

air faster than the speed of sound. A sonic boom produces an enormous amount of sound energy
that sounds like an explosion or thunder to the human ear. A decibel is the primary unit of
measurement for sound. “Thunder is an incredibly loud sound, producing levels of 100 to 120 dBA
(decibel A), which is equivalent to standing near a jet during launch.”[2]

Sonic bullet cracks and whip cracks flying overhead are examples of his sonic booms in miniature.

Sonic booms from large supersonic aircraft are particularly loud and frightening, tend to wake
people up, and can cause minor damage to some structures. This prohibited normal land supersonic
flight. While they cannot be prevented entirely, research suggests that careful vehicle design can
reduce the annoyance of sonic booms to the point where supersonic transversal flight becomes a
viable option.

A sonic boom is not only audible in all directions emanating from a sonic object, as it occurs the
moment an object passes through a sound barrier. Rather, the boom is a continuous effect that
occurs while an object is moving at supersonic speeds, affecting only observers located at the points
where it intersects the geometric conical region behind the object. give. As the object moves, this
area of the cone also moves behind it, creating a momentary "boom" as the cone passes over the
viewer.
