Wow, made me look more into meteor induced shock waves! As could be expected, the overall number of meteoroids capable of shock formation is only a fraction of the overall meteor influx to earth. But the shock waves are formed all the time. There is an extensive sciencedirect scientific article about measuring and observing the shock waves - also search for text "Chelyabinsk" to find out more about it!
