More than half a century ago, when I was in high school, we had a "science" assembly in the gym that was conducted by a former science teacher from our school. Maybe it was NSA or NASA or something (we had a lot of these things in Maryland in the 1960s), I can't recall. Well the "finale" of his demonstration show was a ram jet that he had mounted to a stand. He gave his patter and then he set off that jet and it went on for about 10 seconds. I think my ears bled. It was the loudest noise (in a gym, no less) that I have ever heard in my life before or since. After the screaming had died down, we walked out of the gym VERY quietly. I passed my principal on my way out. He had a look of fire and brimstone on his face. Needless to say, former science teacher was never invited back.

The jet was so fast! Also, congratulations to the builder/pilot for making such a great scale model, and flying it with such skill and speed. Bravo! Even the takeoff was impressive, and a gliding landing too. Bravo! Google search found this for the HE-162: The specification stipulated various performance requirements, including a maximum weight of 2,000 kg (4,400 lb), a maximum speed of 750 km/h (470 mph) at sea level, an operational endurance at least a half hour, while the takeoff distance was to be no greater than 500 m (1,640 ft).

You can see other launch rails and blowers in the background at 1:12 so there must be other pulse jet models at this field. They attach a high-start rubber band for launching and the tail release latch is nicely engineered. The Heinkel He 162 used a turbo jet for power but there was one made with a pulse jet and like this model it didn't have enough thrust for solo takeoff. Once at speed the pulse jet puts out some real power. No throttle, just gas on, gas off. You have no idea how noisy these things are. It's shattering.
