What did the Night Witches sound like when diving on bombing runs?

by DarkArcher__

I've recently found a lot of interest in the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, and am curious to know how they got their nickname. I hear they sounded like brooms when diving, thus the name, but what exactly was it? Was the sound akin to when you clean with a broom?
