That’s what happens when an object breaks the sound barrier (goes faster than the speed of sound)
V (speed of sound)=331.4+0.6Tc m/s
(Tc is the temperature Celsius)
with that equation you can calculate the speed of sound
and you are right the pilot can not hear the boom because he is traveling at a greater speed so the sound can not catch up

An air pocket dip or jolt.
The pilot will feel the sonic boomhowever he or she will not hear the space adjustment much like an air pocket dip or jolt.
