I get to see them flying at low level pretty much daily, as I live on the Mach Loop in Wales where they practice. The howl as they go over never gets old, though I guess I’d feel very differently if they weren’t just training.
You are right the sound never gets annoying. But...
In the early 90s I was a crew chief on the F15. I worked nights (what we called swing shift) and so slept during the day. Depending on which runway they were using the landing pattern would go right over the dorms. Some airmen in the dorms had car alarms with the sensitivity set so low that when the jets flew over the car alarms would go off. THAT got annoying!
