Sound anomaly when flying over Mach 1?

  • When watching a plane flying over Mach1 in fly-by mode, I would except the following:

    1. No sound heard when plane is approaching
    2. A boom sound at some point as it's passing
    3. Full sound as it passes.

    Instead, I hear:

    1. Full sound heard when plane is approaching
    2. A boom sound at some point as it's passing
    3. No sound as it passes.

    Also, while orbiting around the plane over Mach 1 in external view, I wouldn't expect to hear any sound while situated in front of the plane.
