The F-111 has the same TF-30s that the F-14 had. (Before the F-14s were upgraded to TF-110s, that is.)

Same compressor stall problem, too.

Yeah, but compare the gross takeoff weight of the F-111E/F to an F-14A. I suspect that while both aircraft would use full AB's on takeoff roll, the F-14 would be away a lot quicker due to faster acceleration. Make a big diffence to perceived sound to anybody standing near the flight line.
