The speed of the tsunami travelling trough the ocean is dependent on the ocean depth. The Mariana Trench is the deepest known part of the ocean with a depth of approx. 11000 meters. When a tsunami would travel over this trench it could theoretically reach a speed of approx. 330 m/s or 1180 km/h.

To break the sound barrier at sea level, a speed of 1224 km/h needs to be reached. This means that there is no known earth condition where this phenomona could occur.

No, tsunamis cannot break the sound barrier because the speed of sound is much faster than the speed at which a tsunami propagates. Tsunamis typically travel at speeds of around 500-600 miles per hour, while the speed of sound is around 767 miles per hour.
