the first recorded man-only object to break the speed of sound was a USAF sergeant who free fell from 103,000 ft while maintaining a head down tuck. passing 45,000 ft he was clocked above the sound barrier for 14 seconds ( 1.07 mach). ruptured eardrums, shook him up badly, bent his harness hooks at opening shock as he had not slowed to terminal velocity. can't remember the year.

I think Ryan would be on it. A voice, speaker, words, anything around that.

The first manmade object to break the sound barrier was the tip of a whip - hence the crack.
