Lived for a few months within yards of the approach for Pease AFB, New Hampshire... KC-130Qs and F-111s. (Yep, that long ago.) The F-111s were cool sounding, almost a metallic screech of those long thin supersonic engines.
The KCs used water-augmentation (I think) on takeoff with a full fuselage of fuel, and honestly sounded like the sky was made of 100 layers of cotton and someone was tearing them apart with their hands. 2 solid minutes of "hey, they're ripping the sky again" and the water would run out and they'd sound like a normal heavily loaded Boeing chassis again.
