I do not think you have really tried to understand what I have been saying. I specifically do not discuss whatever happens during the steady supersonic flight.
The wiki has a section on perception that discusses your misconception:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom
Among other things, it mentions:
1. You can't hear it if you are inside the cone (such as in the plane)
2. There is no special extra boom upon crossing the threshold.
I am talking about the brief period of formation of the shock system. There is no "cone" at that time, so I cannot see how your statement 1 could apply to this case.
I never spoke about any "special extra boom" so I cannot see how your statement 2 would be relevant. Just for the record, I could not find that statement in the referenced text.
Do you perhaps qualify the onset of sonic boom effects at the formation of the shock system as "special extra boom"?
