yes because the air in the car relative to cabin of the car is not moving at the speed of sound,but if the windows were open and there was a noise outside they would not be able to hear anything.

No. Probably not, because a car traveling at mach-1 would likely fall apart and kill whoever was driving the vehicle. Anyway, if you want to know if a person can hear sound while traveling at the speed of sound, the answer is yes.

That's a really good question and it reminds me of one of my own. "If you're traveling at the speed of light, could you see yourself in a mirror, outside your vehicle?"
You would hear the music, and if it was loud enough, people outside your car would hear it along with the sonic boom that your car would create by traveling at the speed of sound. Do you have an answer to my similar question??? :D

yes, because this speed is relative. Everything in the car is moving at the same speed, so the speakers will function just as if the car was standing still.

According to the general theory of relativity, any matter moving at the speed of light would be converted to a ghoulish blue, glowing pod of pure energy.
At 99% the speed of light its configuration would become flat to any external observer, but not to the thing itself, and time on the thing in itself would virtually cease to pass.
Physicists, is that correct or not?

Of course they would, since the air inside the car is moving with the car.
If it wasn't, the people in the car would be more concerned with grabbing their scalps before they got ripped off their heads, to worry about turning on the radio.

Yeah, but why bother. All those speed of sound cars have crapy stereos.

in case you've been travelling on the speed of sound you may want to be in an plane of a few sort and this may act as faraday cage and forestall you from receiving any radio signal on your radio so that you may want to in all likelihood merely listen hissing. in the journey that your radio change into linked to an exterior antenna on the plane then you truthfully might want to listen a radio signal, assuming that you may want to track your radio to the perfect frequency.

Yes, but if the speakers were outside of the car it would be a whole'nother story.

Yes but they wouldn't be able to hear the sirens chasing them...hmm come to think of it, they probably couldn't see them either, cop cars typically can't travel that fast.
