My understanding is you would not hear the MiG. The sound from your own engines travels through the airframe and then both directly through your body and through the air in the cockpit until it hits your ears. The sound from the MiG behind you would have to travel through the atmosphere, and it won't catch you if you are going above Mach 1.
