jet fuel
Mark wood:
Flying Jets are a big hoot...

Is gas harder to use? Which fuel makes the least noise and is it a big difference?

Not really. A pulse jet will run just about anything that will burn. The biggest trouble is figuring out the correct fuel air ratio. That's an assumption based upon the tube and valve geometry will "ring" properly. All the fuels will make a bucket ton of noise. That's the whole point... Running jets is a manly kind of thing involving fire, noise and danger.
Mike Hazel:
As Mark said, a pulse jet will run on almost anything..... just need the correct metering jet to make it do so. Automotive gasoline will work, but has an extremely limited combustion range. There is no such thing as "white gas" anymore. The competition fuel formula of 80/20 alky/nitro works pretty well and has a much wider combustion range.
