I live near an Air Force base, get mainly c-130s and other cargo planes but have seen everything from f14s through f18 to stealth b-2 bombers. It's really not that bad near us but I'm sure it's loud AF closer to the base

I had a rack under the catapult on the USS Kitty Hawk. Night ops made it tough to sleep. I learned to sleep through it and now I can sleep through a tornado.

It's called working night check and sleeping during flight schedule.

Oh and best sleep ever? Aircraft carrier rolling through heavy weather in the Pacific.
Like getting rocked to sleep. God damn I miss it.

There was this bar near my apartment that use used to play 'Rock Lobster' and Love Shack' every night when I was trying to sleep. It was too loud!

As an AC2 I would tell the pussies who called the airport to complain "those are F-18s and that is the sound of freedom"
