Sonic booms are created when an aircraft such as the F/A-18 Hornet travels faster than the speed of sound, producing a sharp pressure wave heard on the ground. Recordings of military jet flybys have long been shared as stock sound effects, and short versions like this one are widely reused in videos, games and memes. Its appeal is simple: a real jet boom instantly signals speed, power and military action without needing any explanation.

The sharp crack of an F-18 fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, followed by a low rumble. Creators use it for flybys, reveals and fast action edits.
This short clip captures the sudden, thunderous crack of an F-18 jet passing faster than sound, followed by a deep rolling rumble that fades quickly. The boom hits without warning, so it feels powerful and slightly startling even at low volume, like a jet has just torn past overhead. Because the sound is so brief and intense, it works as an instant jolt of speed and scale, making a scene on screen feel bigger, faster and more dramatic in under two seconds.
