Anything that moves faster than sound breaks the sound barrier....therefore it makes either a boom or a crack depending on size of the object, when a whip 'cracks' it is the tip breaking the sound barrier that makes the noise, the proppeller tips on a T-6 break the sound barrier giving it it's distinctive sound.

Supersonic small arms projectiles make a rather loud crack as they pass over your head.
