Can you record the sound of a sonic boom and then replay it so that it creates another sonic boom?

A sonic boom is a specific kind of sound. As an item accelerates through the air it creates a wave of compressed air ahead of it. When that item exceeds the speed of sound, that wave is ruptured, causing a loud burst of sound energy that we have come to know as a sonic boom. You can record and replay that sound, but it would not recreate the conditions that caused the sonic boom in the first place, so it would not ever under any circumstances be another sonic boom.

If you could match the power of the sonic boom.

I guess you could provided you have a recorder and a playback mechanism that can withstand the enormous energy.

Any sound played loud enough will do the job.
