We review studies of the generation and propagation of nonlinear and shock sound waves in He II (the superfluid phase of ⁴He), both under the saturated vapor pressure (SVP) and at elevated pressures. The evolution in shape of second and first sound waves excited by a pulsed heater has been invest...
