Clarify please   TrainUsers (@bengalurutrains) July 2, 2021  The city had witnessed a similar incident in May last year, which the defence department said that was sonic boom caused by a test flight. It can be said that a sonic boom is created whenever an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. A sonic boom is the result of fast movement of aircraft - the thunderous sound is produced when these objects fly overhead faster than the speed of sound. This is a phenomenon when shock waves are created in the atmosphere when an object moves faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy that is similar to an explosion or a thunderclap to the human ear.
