I'm not a pilot, but I have lived in coastal southern California for several decades where there is a significant amount of commercial air traffic (SNA, LAX, LGB). I recall several times hearing the windows rattle violently from a double sonic boom as the Space Shuttle passed over on its way to landing at Edwards AFB. Don't remember any reports of commercial aircraft in the area being seriously affected by the shock waves though.
