    @Spacedoge12345plane in that case, none exist. NASA is working on one, called QueSST or something like that, and Boom Tehcnologies are also developing their to be used as an airliner

    I knew someone would say that. I’m looking for small sonic booms for civilian use (kinda)@DerekSP

    It is impossible to go supersonic without a boom. Although it is possible to streamline the boom so it will dissipate faster and won't be as loud.
    A DC-8 once went supersonic, you can only imagine the sonic boom that would create

    Even tiny bullets have sonic booms.

    There’s such things as the laws of physics so there aren’t any

    Awsomur is right. Not only are the necessary engines incredibly loud on their own, but there has yet to be an aircraft sleek enough to pass through the sound barrier without a very loud (and often destructive) boom.

    There aren’t any, yet.
    (some have low boom noise, but there’s none with zero noise.)
