I had been kind of curious about this and here it is! Felix Baumgartner's sonic boom was audible on the ground and is heard in the video on the page linked here. Amazing!

I thought it was impossible for a human to break the sound barrier with their bodies because sound travels faster at high altitudes or something  :headscratch:.  I'll have to double check that fact.
