The first sonic boom is created by the shock wave coming off the front of the aircraft. The aircraft displaces a large volume of air, and creates a vacuum trailing the craft. The tail end of this vacuum cavity creates a second shock wave. On smaller aerodynamic craft, the cavity might be right behind the tail of the craft, and the separation between the shock fronts is not enough to be able to discern them as distinct booms. On larger and faster aircraft, the cavity can trail significantly behind the tail, and thus create a significant enough separation that two distinct booms are heard.
A double sonic boom is caused by two shock waves created when an object travels faster than the speed of sound. The first boom is from the initial shock wave created at the front of the object, and the second boom is from the rear shock wave when the object passes by.

No, the pilot of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier would not hear the sonic boom because the aircraft is traveling at the same speed as the sound waves it creates. The sonic boom is heard on the ground as the aircraft passes overhead.
The fighter jet broke the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom that could be heard for miles.

sonic boom as the planes speed exceeds the sound barrier.

The sonic boom was first discovered by John William Strutt, also known as Lord Rayleigh, a British scientist, in the late 19th century. He studied the phenomenon of sound waves traveling at or faster than the speed of sound and their effects on air pressure, leading to the understanding of the sonic boom.
Yes, it is the transition from subsonic to supersonic and then back that causes the sound.
Sonic Boom is bad.
An aircraft traveling at super sonic speeds will crease pressure waves or shocks that send off huge explosions.

He is 22 in sonic boom but all so in sonic x he is 16.
Sonic Boom of the South was created in 1940.
Sonic Boom is coming out in October or November 2014.

Feraligatr learns the moves double head hit, sonic boom boom and slap attack with lightening.
all metals can survive past a sonic boom. a sonic boom is just sound not heat. hope this helped!
