No, sound travels at the speed of sound.

Exhaust gases leaving the nozzle of a rocket engine travel many times the speed of sound, but the sound they produce travels at the speed of sound, like any other sound.
Objects may exceed the speed of sound, but sound waves travel at the speed of sound and no faster.

hmmm this is a really weird question
Your asking if the exhaust out of a space shuttle will break the speed of sound?
I'm guessing it won't hence no sonic boom or anything like that. Nice question though got the brain going

The sound is the speed of sound. The space shuttle is slower.

I think so. With that kind of thrust, it must be leaving the nozzles at better than 700 mph.
