The modern term for this meaning is "ultrasonic".

Etymology: The word supersonic comes from

two Latin derived words; 1) super: above and 2) sonus: sound, which together mean
above sound or in other words faster than sound.
greater than the speed of sound waves through air. capable of achieving such speed:
a supersonic plane. ultrasonic.
At supersonic speeds (those greater than the local sound speed), there is no sound heard as
an object approaches an observer because the object is traveling faster than the sound it
produces. Only after the object has passed will the observer be able to hear the sound waves
emitted from the object.

2200 Hz
Typical supersonic wave measured at frequency 2200 Hz.
A sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created whenever an object travels
through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts
of sound energy, sounding similar to an explosion or a thunderclap to the human ear. The crack of a
supersonic bullet passing overhead or the crack of a bullwhip are examples of a sonic boom in
miniature.[2]
Sonic booms due to large supersonic aircraft can be particularly loud and startling, tend to awaken
people, and may cause minor damage to some structures. They led to prohibition of routine
supersonic flight over land. Although they cannot be completely prevented, research suggests that
with careful shaping of the vehicle the nuisance due to the sonic booms may be reduced to the point
that overland supersonic flight may become a practical option.[citation needed]
A sonic boom does not occur only at the moment an object crosses the speed of sound; and neither
is it heard in all directions emanating from the supersonic object. Rather the boom is a continuous
effect that occurs while the object is travelling at supersonic speeds. But it affects only observers
that are positioned at a point that intersects a region in the shape of a geometrical cone behind the
object. As the object moves, this conical region also moves behind it and when the cone passes
over the observer, they will briefly experience the boom.
