I'm not hindered by any actual knowledge here, but don't fighters generally 
fly faster than the speed of sound, where (some) airliners only rarely do 
that? Crossing the sound barrier gives that nasty "boom", which adds to 
their loudness, I'd think.

they do so at a much lower altitude than jetliners do?
