What?
How that fuck does that make sense?
They would be leaving sonic booms everywhere if they don't have the speed force.

Thats just anime logic.... Heaps of anime have characters go far beyond the speed of sound with no sonic booms.
That or aura somehow helps.

At the extreme end I can accept then moving at Mach 0.9, and that's bieng ridiculously generous. Because that is 1142km/h. Even below Mach 1 the speed is absurd but with Aura, a semblance to support the speed and training someone could theoretically reach there.
Going beyond?
No.
As you get closer and closer to the sound barrier the air resistance will get exponentially greater.
I can believe Yang after the Fall of beacon may reach mach 0.4, 0.6 if angered.

You can calculate how slowly the rocks are falling in season 1, and compare it to how fast yang is going in the same frame in season 1, and you get Mach 6.
Similarly with Suns feat vs the Grimm dragon.
Almost any anime / animation that has a character go beyond the speed of sound doesn't bother with sonic booms.

Hmmmm...... Anyone else agree with this?

Let say I agree, Yang and Sun can move at those speeds, but they will at most be short bursts of speed. Definitely not any long distances...

If they could move at those speeds they wont need bullheads and would have reached Atlas in hours instead of having a journey that took days. Rwby has a lot of inconsistencies in power so take those feats as a grain of salt
Sure. I'm not saying they have the endurance to do it over long periods of time (though the speed would probably still need to be somewhat decently similar for the duration of a fight to not get blitzed).
Or you can just ignore it and make up something else for the purposes of the Fic, I was just noting it because I saw the speeds and remembered the calculations I've seen on other websites and thought to myself. 'Well maybe she is fast for her age but she is still far from huntsman level'. But its your fic so you can make it AU.
Not that it matters much, since the speed force can help you go so insanely fast it doesn't really matter what the speed of others is.

Sembalance seems to be a form of magic, so I'm guessing it's magic that's preventing the sonic booms. Similar to how Yang's hair can catch on fire and not burn away, or Ruby can turn to petals, including turning anyone or anything she carries into petals and then turn back to normal.
I am more irked by the seeming inconsistency. Because I don't think Huntsmen can go casually hypersonic.
The kinetic energy resulting from such speeds would have had much more impact on the environment during their fights, and you can see most fighting in RWBY causes relatively little collateral.
Personally I would blame gravity and say the debris wasn't falling all that fast.

Finally someone with common sense.
wut, mach 6 yang and mach 11 sun ... I call bullshit, there is no way rwby characters are at mach speeds, at best we have ruby with her semblance maybe getting extremly close to mach 1 but no, there is nothing that says rwby characters are supersonic to hypersonic that would make sense

Even as fast as they are they aren't supersonic.

It took me nearly six months of intensive studies in Computer science before I knew enough to start the weapon I had in mind. I had completed all the school had taught me about computers. The knowledge as a degree of Computer science in my past life may have something to do with it.
Regardless I had sped my way through everything they had to teach me in computer science in two months. The only thing I had to spend time studying was the languages used in Remnant. They were nothing like Java or C++.
Atleast the Binary system remained the same.
Four months after that I spend learning from an expert I had managed to contact.
Someone had reached out to.
Dr Peitro Poledina.
When he asked me why I wanted to learn from him I told him the truth. That I was designing my personal weapon in Signal and I needed a lot of knowledge in computers and electronics to finish it.
After that, he was happy to help me with any questions that I asked.
Of course.
I wasn't just going to tell him any information about my weapon.
I might be Ruby rose.
But I was not as Naive as I used to be.
I knew that my knowledge could fall in the wrong hands if I wasn't careful. So was very careful not to mention anything to do with it as much as I could.
I occasionally asked him questions as I began crafting weapons.
Dad and Qrow are teachers at signal which meant I didn't have to explain to them what exactly I was trying to do. After all, I had passed weapon creation and management classes already.
Yang had already made her weapon a year ago, Of course, she is a year above me and would be going to beacon at the end of this school year.
And if I want to make use of my knowledge about the future I have to keep it close as possible.
I didn't know the exact day when exactly the robbery happened.
But it was within a few days of when Yang leaves for Beacon.
______________________________________________
Step one was designing and planning.
Mechashift was a reliable way for huntsmen to have one weapon to be used in different situations.
They were very reliable... Until they fail or get jammed, perhaps due to luck or faulty, maintenance.
Mecha shift technology has come a long way in the last 200 years since its invention and the time when it would break down or get stuck in the wrong time.
Especially dust forging that allowed for metals to be fused with the dust during the forging process allowing weapons to still be workable even when the Ridiculous amounts of part and how thin they were would make them so easy to tear through if they weren't forged with dust.
With dust, they withstood stress that would be impossible for it.
Having outside knowledge really put things into perspective.
Regardless, I wasn't going to fall for the same trap.
Mecha shifting weapons may be convenient and strong.
But non Mechashift weapons with dust forging?
I could already imagine how much immense stress their parts would be able to handle and how much more efficient they would be.
Dustforging with fire dust allowed the metal to withstand much fill higher temperatures than it would normally would and allow it to conduct heat much more easily.
Earth dust would make it Harder.
Lightning dust would increase its conductivity allowing it to carry much more current.
Wind dust allowed it to be lighter.
And with the subtypes and all the different ratios possible with different kinds of dust. It was possible to make a lot of different effects.
I began to giggle as ideas formed and I began to sketch out my weapons.....
.....
I might have gone too far...

Considering that gravity is decently consistent for the rest of the show...
But if your saying that everyone on remnant reacts and thinks super slow compared to earth humans. That would make their understanding of a 'second' different.
Because if you think 10 times slower than me, then 60 seconds for me is 6 seconds to you.
To their own perception of time, the speed of trained huntsman would still be 13500+ Km/h (atleast in bursts with likely 1000+ consistantly for fights to not get blitzed.) But their understanding on what sort of speeds would be required to break the sound barrier would be different.
To anyone else who commented, I mean you can easily find the calculations people have done online or do them yourself. I was just noting what others have calculated on the internet.
Edit: For anyone who wants to talk about transportation in rwby.
We have seem Grimm keeping up, and surpassing, a bunch of the transportation in RWBY.
And Good huntsman and huntresses should be around the same speed as Grimm.
So for the duration of combat, they should be able to move at speeds like cars, motorcycles, trains and Bullheads.
Why do they use transportation then? Well It can be tiring. Especially when they might need that energy for later.

YES! SHOW THE WORLD YOUR
What am saying is the guy's estimation of the debris speed was most likely wrong, Remnant isn't Earth and have a different gravity, and Remnant's is lesser than ours (Remnant is smaller than Earth).
And then there is the absurdity which is hypersonic huntsmen.
To help putting it in perception, one of the fastest cars in the world speed is around 550 Km/h, a little less than half a Mach. And you are saying that Huntsmen, who still uses Bullheads for transportation, can go 20 times as fast as that!? It is simply not realistic or believable.
If you wish to continue this argument, then, would you send those video links so I can see them for myself?

Ok so say Gravity is 12x slower on remnant than it is on Earth. Because thats around the minimum it takes for it to be below Mach 1.
Gravity for the rest of the show, including when reacting to civilians is normal.
Which means to Civilians, and non-fighting huntsman, gravity seems to be the same speed as our earth. Which means if Gravity is 12 times slower that they think 12 times slower.
So 1 minute for me would be 5 seconds for someone in RWBY.
I did also say the guy's estimations of the debris are likely to be wrong. And no, I believe it is a difference of ~15-25% in gravity
Which would make the feat 15-25% slower...
Unless your saying gravity is 15-25% of ours, which would make it Mach speeds, but lower. And still perceived as the same speed by them.
It also wouldn't be really relevant to how the speed is perceived by those in universe.
If the speed of gravity seems right to them, and their perception of time, then the calc is the same as it is.
The speed of gravity only really matters if your trying to account for air resistance etc. Which can also just be explained as 'aura'. Or 'not enough detail animation' etc.
Edit: Unless you think that to what they perceive, gravity is 75-85% of our own.
I'm not sure if that really follows what we have seen, but even so thats not enough for it to be too far below the speeds calced before. Without calculating it out myself, saying its still over 3000 kmph is still very generously low.

Contract Job Self Insert (JOB - Takeshi Motoba) 1
Jaune Pendragon
King Of Servants

Warning. This snippet will be very dark.
__________________________________________________________________________
Takeshi Motoba.
That was the name of the body I was inhabiting.
I had filled out a CYOA form choosing several powers.
Unfortunately, there was more of a price to be paid if I wanted to be able to use them.
Or rather there were several contracts I had to complete before I would get all of my power.
Takeshi Motoba, the man whose body I had been currently inhibiting. He made a deal. Or rather he cried out to the sky screaming out his anguish willing to sell his soul. He couldn't live anymore.
The man had tried and tried to make Kirie Motoba, his sister happy and provide for her, he works hard to pay rent and to make sure that his sister never needed for anything.
He cooked the meals and cleaned the house, washed and ironed the clothes, he did this without complaint as he knew that his sister had some problems, so he continued to feed her and care for her.
Laughing off goofily every time she hit him.
Hiding his pain
Every cold word and dismissal struck his heart.
But he kept going on.
Trudging on inch by inch, keeping on the mask.
So that his sister could be happy.
But even the strongest things have a point where they will break.
Beating him up with a Bokuto was the last straw. He was able to endure it a few times.
Making sure that how hurt he was, was never shown.
He didn't wish to burden his sister even in his last moments. So he couldn't take his life, or else it would leave no one who would feed her and keep a roof above her head.
So he sold his soul and asked in exchange that his sister's needs be taken care of until her death.
And so the Rob took his soul, and I was in his place.
I however held no love for the girl.
But I was still bound by the contract.
This was my first mission, and so one of the powers I had chosen would be released randomly.
I had only picked 3 powers.
Three major powers.
I felt something at the back of my head.
It was a Power Manipulation charge.
A single one.
It would be refreshed once every year. More than enough for a peaceful world like this.
Though I'm going to be here for a long - long time. Until my contract is complete after which either get more of Power Manipulation released or a small portion of the other two.
Fortunately for me, the contract isn't that bad.
I only had to provide Kirie Motoba what she needs. Not what she wants, so long as it's something that she needs to survive, I had to provide it until she dies a natural death.
Getting up got ready to go to Takeshi's work. I had no reason to talk to her at all. Especially for someone who has no concern for their own family. especially the one who was sacrificing himself for her. Yet, she didn't even notice anything. She didn't even think that what she was doing would hurt him. As such, I had no problems staying away from her with minimal contact. Some of Takeshi's memories even show me that at time she even told him to disappear or to go die.
Something like that?
That' would hurt a lot.
Well, she got her wish and Takeshi would get his.
Don't worry Takeshi, Ill make sure that she will not need anything.
She will be fed, watered, and given shelter, but don't expect more kindness from me for someone like her.
However, I felt bad for the dude. So I'll even give her pocket money. what she does with it is up to her though.
I merely placed some money on the table with a note saying that she could use it for breakfast and then I left.
First I needed to see where he works, then I needed to see the current markets and what exactly demand was present for and see what are my options before I spend my Power Manipulation charge.
After all, I wouldn't get another one for a whole year.
With a smirk, I began walking.
I couln't wait.

Well, I am very interested in what he will invest his first charge?
Cognitive boost? Can't go wrong with those.
Some physical ehancement? It would be useful if his job requires great physical activity.
Or maybe outright supernatural such as mind reading or ferrokinesis.
So many possibilies!

Lol. This is going to be interesting.
You're going to become the model employee of your workplace and the standard by which all other future employee's will be measured against. You're going to be practically running the company (forgot what it was in canon) and your name will become known far and wide. Just as planned... (bonus points if the company ends up being nothing more than the first step on your path to victory)
Funny enough, I recall your host was competent at his job but held back by his laziness, academic mistakes made in highschool and his love for his sister. Well the first and third don't apply to you anymore and the second can be solved with judicious amounts of Thinker and Master powers.
Hell, the fact that you aren't lazy and monofocusing on providing for the Host sisters happiness means you have time galore to do whatever you need and want to do to succeed like getting all your paperwork done in record time so that you can focus on more important things.
I wonder how long will it take for the sister to notice the changes and differences in her 'brother'? Would be funny (and rather saddening in hindsight) if she never notices in the first place. Just that he isn't "bothering" her anymore.
Worm-style Thinker powers in a world without protections against them (Watchdog for example) and other Parahuman powers, are complete and utter bullshit.
