It’s related to something called a shock wave.

The basic principle is that when something travels faster than the speed of sound in a particular medium, it generates shock waves. These shock waves lead to the sonic booms. The wiki entry on sonic booms is actually decent, and rather than have me reproduce a somewhat mangled interpretation, I’m just going to provide the link:
