yes, Even a rifle bullet may travel faster than sound, but even then, it cannot reach escape velocity. Rockets seem to have beaten the escape velocity problem.

A space missile will travel more than 11.2 km/s, which is about 10 times the speed of a bullet. +/- [Sound velocity ~ 330m/s.]

Yes, missiles can travel faster than the speed of sound. Some military missiles are designed to travel at supersonic speeds, which exceed the speed of sound (approximately 343 meters per second in air at sea level).

Does sound travel faster than sound?

No, sound cannot travel faster than itself. Sound waves propagate at a specific speed in a given medium, such as air or water, and they cannot exceed that speed. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which it is traveling.
