Answer:

sonic boom

  1. Explanation: There is no such thing as a "sound molecule" so the answer to the question is no. The sonic boom associated with supersonic flight is associated with pressure waves built up in front of the aircraft (like the bow wavers from a boat) that radiate outward at supersonic speeds. These create a sound.
