This loud reminds many of the sonic boom which was heard in the month of May last year. An ANI report on May 20, 2020, stated that citizens across the parts of Bengaluru were puzzled by hearing a loud booming sound. The officials later confirmed that the sonic boom was the result of a routine test flight of the Indian Air Force. 

The Defence Minsitry also tweeted last year saying, "It was a routine IAF Test Flight involving a supersonic profile which took off from Bluru Airport and flew in the allotted airspace well outside City limits. The aircraft was of Aircraft Systems and Testing Establishment (ASTE)  @IAF_MCC @SpokespersonMoD."
