Found this:

"The engines and propellers produced an unforgettable throbbing sound
when the B-36 flew overhead. A friend of mine remembers the sound from
his boyhood as a "captivating drone. The noise went down to your heels,
it was so resonant. It just stopped you in your tracks. You looked up
into the sky to try to find this thing, and it was just a tiny cross,
it was so high." Others remember that it rattled windows on the ground
from 40,000 feet."

Thats about how high they would be when they came over our house some
200 miles west of Ft. Worth and the windows would rattle. It was an
unmistakeable sound.
