would you be able to hear a compressor stall if you were traveling faster than M1.0?
Post Body

Obviously sound waves behave differently than light, and we know (theoretically) that you would be able to see light from the back of your aircraft if you were traveling at the speed of light, because the speed of light is relative to the observer.

That made me question whether, for a pilot & airplane traveling faster than the speed of sound, is the sound also relative? So if there were a compressor stall in my engine, normally I would hear a bang. Is that still true at higher Mach numbers?
