When those jets are incoming low and fast - the first sound you hear is usually shifted up into the treble registers, and there is something unnatural about it. Dragon's roar, or perhaps ripping denim into a stethoscope.
It never fails to make the hair stand on end. Any hair.

Sometimes, when the jets are working terrain, you'll get silence, then this sudden loud pulse, a "lozenge" of that ripping jet sound. Then a moment of dead silence, but the synapses aren't fooled. "Shit inbound." Then there they are, directly overhead, doing that rousing Road Runner Doppler whoosh at 130 decibels. Meep-meep! "You've just been napalmed. Thank you; come again!"
