Since perception is everything, as they say, you might consider using an
adequate blower for the amplifier and an audio recording of a jet plane
takeoff to play in the background. This could save a ton of $$!
Then you could turn the sound on/up whenever needed for intimidation or
other motives. Earplugs optional.

Although a couple of vacuum cleaner motors will work, a better choice
would be to take the turbine out of a self contained plasma cutter. Out
in the open they really sing, but ...you did say cash was a problem and
those self contained torches are running a tad shy of two grand.
Maybe get some of the old vacuum cleaners, put 3 or 4 of the blade sets
on one shaft...a bit of metal work and that sucker will move air AND
make an impressive sound.
Then again you could take the super charger out of a car, and turn it
with one of the model jet engines. I'm not sure if you would be able to
hear the turbines over the engine or not.
Good Luck,
Roger (K8RI)
