Yes it would...
The reason: As the sound waves build up on the front of the material that is going faster then sound, a high intensity wave is formed. This high intensity wave is the loud boom that is heard. ANY time something travels faster than sound it will create a sonic boom. It doesn't matter if it is a jet, a dog, or your hand. The material doesn't matter.

Breaking the sound barrier produces a sonic boom. It has to do with the energy needed to overcome the sound barrier. It also has to do with waveforms and wave flow. In this case, the waves are in the air. It probably would not be a loud boom by comparison. The crack of a whip is the same thing.

A sonic boom is the audible portion of a wonder wave in air. The time period is prevalent to confer with the air shocks brought about by making use of the supersonic flight of protection rigidity plane or passenger transports such as Concorde (Mach 2.03, no longer flying) and the gap go back and forth (Mach 27, has in reality flown once because the 2003 crash). Sonic booms generate huge quantities of sound power, sounding very resembling an explosion; frequently the wonder the front ought to attitude 167 megawatts in accordance to sq. meter, and ought to exceed 2 hundred decibels. at the same time as an plane is close to the sound barrier, an unusual cloud each so often kinds in its wake. A Prandtl-Glauert Singularity effects from a drop in rigidity, because of wonder wave formation. This rigidity replace motives a pointy drop in temperature, which in humid situations leads the water vapor interior the air to condense into droplets and style the cloud.

No because making a noise would mean that you are still in the sound barrier doesn't it. . . hmm i dont know

Yes, just like when the tip of a whip does it.
