Question, do flights like this generate a sonic boom that can impact those in the area?

  The craft is taken to 45,000 feet by a more traditional aircraft at normal speeds and after detachment the rocket engine wouldn't bring it to boom-producing mach speeds until somewhat above that I think, and the atmosphere is much thinner so the effect would be greatly reduced. So no, I don't think so.
