When the Concorde was flying, you would definitely hear the noise of the engine in the cabin at supersonic speeds.

inside the cabin , everything appears normal .
you are part of the plane-system ,so to speak , and do not experience any relative effects.remember that a sonic boom is the Doppler effect with a serious attitude problem, and that varies with the density of the media through which the object is traveling.
that means the speed of sound is about 700 mph in air , 1400mph in steel.
this of course will lead someone out there to the conclusion that Wile E. Coyote , Super - Genius ,was set up 'cause he would have heard the anvil clang before it hit him....
my head hirts.......

Your jet engine can be heard through the medium of your air frame. Relative to the cockpit, the jet engine is not going away from you at the speed of sound.

Yes.
The sound barrier (somewhere around 758 mph) has been broken on land for quite a while now (although the 'car' was powered by a jet engine).

Of course not; you're flying just as fast as the sound that leaves the engine, so it can't catch up to your ears. if you go supersonic, then it gets left behind.

If your engine is mounted to the fuselage sound would travel through the fuselage into the cabin and you would hear it.

king rao and wayne budd are right
you would hear it also through the air inside the cockpit witch is stationary to the pilot and can transmit sound waves to his ears from the fuselage.

One assumes you must be in an aircraft???? Then, you'd hear the noise via the physical structure of the aircraft.

You won't if your engine is behind you. You would be able to feel the vibrations only.
