The definition of 'subsonic speed' is speed that is less than the speed of sound. But I think you're joking, because you wanted your answer 'realllllly fast' ...

well, if supersonic means above the speed of sound, then SUBsonic probably means below the speed of sound. Airplanes make that boom noise when they pass the speed of sound. Nothing happens when they don't.
