The V1 used a so-called “pulse jet” where the intake was much like a spring-loaded “louver” resulting in a “pulsed” thrust and hence it sound.

Yeah that was the problem with bailing out before impact: you couldn't do it if the engine was running,

(The He-162 had a similar engine location, but the pilot was sitting on a an ejection seat)
