I worked on the F4B and the F4J models. I also worked the flight deck on the USS Enterprise during the Vietnam war. I will say those J79 engines in full afterburner were loud. My hearing to this day will testify to that.

I can understand the noise still being in your ears, I was in a CH-53E squadron, those triple t-64 engines going off on the flight line next to the barracks were tough to sleep to.
