    Another factor not yet touched on - Even if the bullet itself is travelling at just slightly less than the speed of sound, aka transonic, the air pushed aside may be momentarily forced to break the sound barrier. So bullets start to get quite noisey as they approach the sound barrier, its not a strict yes / no super/sub sonic thing.
