Sonic Booms: What are some things that are capable of making a sonic Boom?
My son (10 years old) said, "Hey dad, I watched a video about a whip making a sonic boom." I said, "I don't think so." Well he turned out to be correct (and yes, I told him he was correct and I was wrong).
Anyway, in my quest for knowledge I also learned that there was a least one type of dinosaur that could whip it's tail and make a sonic boom. Cool.
Do you know anything else that can make a sonic boom?

The tips of helicopter rotor blades. That ‘whop, whop, whop’ sound is repeated sonic booms.
Meteors, but too far up for us to hear. Usually.
Space craft launch vehicles, once they’ve got up to speed, but usually drowned out by engine roar.
Fighter aircraft and some missiles.
Bullets/shells from a gun.
