I love that sound. Don't take this as one-upmanship, but an F-14 is 
fairly quiet when compared to the B1-B. F-14's, F-18's, F-16's, etc. are 
roughly the same loudness to my ear, but the B1-B was completely so far 
above and beyond the volume of the smaller fighters that I was taken 
aback. It was literally incredible. I didn't even know it was possible 
for anything to make that much noise. There just aren't words to 
describe it. You *must* find an airshow with a B1-B takeoff.
