A "sonic black hole," also known as a "sonic horizon," is a concept in theoretical physics that pertains to the behavior of sound waves in a medium moving at supersonic speeds. It is an analog to the event horizon of a gravitational black hole but involves the dynamics of fluid mechanics rather than gravity. In a sonic black hole, a fluid can flow faster than the speed of sound within that medium.
