Basically it's the same sound you hear from a crop duster type of airplane (the older biplanes). It's the sound of the propeller-tips breaking the sound barrier that makes that noise. That's not the engine making that noise. Basically it's a plethora of small sonic booms.
It's also a sound that usually can't be heard by the pilot in the plane making that noise......at least from my flying experience.
It's a sound similar to that noise witnessed on the ground of a Huey, or a Chinook helicopter coming towards you (blade popping). The larger the diameter of the blade, the lower the frequency of the pop.
That sound is a great cinematic though.
