Japanese soldiers called it this because they would often get strafed or bombed by it and hear the whistling from the supercharger or around the oil cooler scoops when it dived and flew-by.

Japanese pilots called it. . . "Oh crap. . .AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH".

The only time it would be acceptable to hear another aircraft while in your cockpit would be if the enemy has run out of ammo and he's in the process of trying to chew your head off with his prop.
