The object sets up a shock wave that is heard as a "sonic boom."
I used to hear them all the time as a kid when I was growing up on Long Island near a couple of companies (Grumman & Republic) that made fighters for the military!

A sonic boom occurs when an object accelerates past the speed of sound barrier.

It is said to be travelling at supersonic speeds and a sonic boom may result. No other major problems are expected.
