Second hand story, so take with a grain of salt.
An FAA official went to the hospital after landing and took a medial leave of absence after riding in the Cirrus SF50 just prior to certification. The cause...? Shrieking inlet noise.
Although second hand, it was a pretty good source.

Meh, I believe that shrieking was MC although I kind of agree with him.

We also had a customer who purchased some old CASA jets for resale sounded like a human range dog whistle on the ramp. We called the whistle jets. Or the F-27. I think they were the same engines/props as the G-1?

I have been to Reno races .....a lot, Hot rod Merlin pulling about 130/140 in. MP just before the prop governor fails will make your breast bone hurt for that split second just before it scatters itself into the vastness of space. The Aero Products prop on Czechmate's R-2800 did the same thing once upon a time without coming apart. I think the engine explored the realm of around 4000 RPM. You have to experience those sounds to understand, they cannot be explained.

Concorde or British Vulcan in AB during takeoff is freakin loud. Not so bad after they come out of AB though.
I have read though that the US was able to track "Bears" using SOSUS.

I have to agree with that one. A B-1 at full afterburner can set off car alarms over a mile away in the parking lots, parking garages, and the next town over. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s Savannah had exercises off the Atlantic and there were about a half-dozen of them on the military ramp at KSAV. The F-15s would climb straight up at full burner and then roll over on their back to level off. Even a flight of 4 F-15s was no match for a single B-1 in max afterburner, let alone when pairs of Bones took off of RWY 27 in formation.

Actually, stopping to think about it, yes the Concordes were loud on burner. I’d stand there as they set off every car alarm on Bath Road along Heathrow. But yeah, B-1Bs are louder.
At OSH this yeah, yeah B-1s were loud, but....
The F-35 was the loudest plane I remembered at OSH this year on single burner. I didn’t expect it to be louder than the B-1s but it seemed to be to me. The B-1s didn’t make me nauseous....

I've heard the big boys at the pool hall tell stories about pulling up on the wing of a Bear and it being very loud in an F-4 cockpit. At Barksdale last year we had no trouble hearing the engine sound of the B-52 flying on our wing in the B-29.

Oh I also forgot, I was standing on the ramp as 2 Indian Air Force MiG-25 Foxbats took off. Big, gigantic burners... the sound went straight through my chest and felt it coming out my back. LOUD... But I still think the F-35 on single burner is louder...

Back in the late 90’s, as a young midshipman, I got to experience two night recoveries on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CV-67). Tomcats, Hawkeyes, Hornets, Prowlers, Seahawks, Vikings and a single Shadow. I was in heaven. Well, every now and then one would bolter. The loudest on the bolter? Tomcat? Nope. Hornet? Wrong again. It was the Prowler. I know, I was surprised as well.
