I wish I could freeze and unfreeze time at will and explore this time-frozen world with my bestie (sopuli.xyz)

Actually, there wouldn't be a sonic boom. Because time is frozen, even the smallest movement OP takes would accelerate them beyond the speed of light (OP has to move infinitely fast to overcome the infinitely slow passing of time). The result is that OP risks ending the world if they freeze time.
