From wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_barrier
The bullwhip, or sparewhip, was probably the first human-made object to move faster than sound. The tip of the whip breaks the sound barrier and causes a sharp crack—literally a sonic boom. Many forms of ammunition also achieve supersonic speeds.

The whip! The whips's crack is produced while element of the whip strikes swifter than the fee of sound and creates a sonic growth. the 1st projectile to exceed the fee of sound replaced into the bullet!

I agree with elaine, but if you are talking sound barrier it was probably the whip as the" crack" sound of a whip is the end of the lash breaking the speed of sound as it is snapped.
next would be a projectile fired from a gun of some sort but the sound is overpowered by the guns explosion

Actually, the first object to break the sound burrier was the mole rat. As to the sound barrier, I'd have to Google it.
