nope, you don't. What you here is noise from the motor such as casting tubes being spit through the nozzle. Sonic booms create a cone shape that would not be heard because it travels out and away from the rocket farther than the spectators. Also, a rocket of that size wont make a distinguishable boom.
What is difficult is to get everything from the motor to the flight computer to work flawlessly, user error causes destruction either going up or coming down fast.
I have seen and heard a rocket that did two sonic booms within 100 feet off the launch pad!! And yes they never found that rocket again.
