Hmm, what was the term for the audible affect of something traveling over the speed of sound? Sonic whisper? Sonic barely can can hear it?
It is possible though, a private company ironically named Boom had an experimental test flight last year that was supersonic with no audible boom at ground level. Only mach 1.1, but still.

See the X-59 for a working example of quieter supersonic flight.

And Boom Supersonic is fast approaching commercial flights with their supersonic passenger plane.
