'''Sonic boom''' is the sound produced as a result of aircraft traveling at or above Mach 1 (the speed of sound)<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> or indeed, when any object breaks the [[sound barrier]]. As an object moves through the air it creates pressure waves that move radially outward at the speed of sound. When the object moves at or above the speed of sound the waves that would normally propagate ahead of the object merge together into a larger pressure wave.
