Well I think one could say you are breaking the speed of sound anytime you talk or make any noise. But I am assuming you mean a household object you can cause to move fast enough to break the speed of sound. Really there are numerous ones, a belt, a rolled towel, a length of rope. Anything longish like a whip ( I am assuming a whip is not a regular household item) that you can swing and transfer the energy to a focal point on the tip so the tip moves fast enough to break the speed of sound.

It in all likelihood under no circumstances will. the quantity of capacity accessible from a image voltaic panel is restricted through the capacity emitted through the sunlight. it ought to't only improve with better image voltaic panel technologies. Air resistance / weight will end the size of those image voltaic panels, and hence no longer enable image voltaic sound-speed commute.

If you accidentally step on a cat's tail, he will break the speed of sound getting away from you.
The sound of a can opener has been known to bring dogs running to your feet at Mach 3.
