The two different sounds you describe sound like when a jet kicks on into afterburner then back out of it. If not a B model, very possible it was just going very slowly in afterburner, as others mentioned. Even a short distance away would look like a brief hover, especially if there is nothing close behind it for reference. Of course, it could simply be two different airframes. If I read correctly there was just a few hours between flights. That’s a relatively quick recovery and relaunch if it was the same airframe.
