The screaching intro? Edge refers to that as the 747 sound. And that is pretty much what it sounds like - a jet engine/siren.
Per Sept 1997 Guitar World and Flood... "It's him using his Korg SDD 3000 delay heavily feedback and then going through a couple of different fuzz pedals and a Whammy pedal. One of the fuzz pedals was a "Fuzz Face". He used a semi-acoustic guitar - either an Epiphone or a Gretsch with that setup to get that sound."
So while Flood isn't 100% sure on the guitar, chances are it was either the Gibson ES330 or one of the two Gretsch Country Gents that Edge was using around that time. (One was either a 1964 or 1965 [seen it quoted by either vintage] and the other was a 1967 Country Gent.)
When playing it live, Edge activates it on a sequencer. But per Dallas, Edge remakes the sequnces for certain things ever few shows.
What song is that for though? Granted, it's something c. Pop or before, but I can't find the original question, and I'm interested as to what song we're referring to lol!
EDIT - don't worry, just seen the "Gone tab" topic
