Wow, that one takes me back to a time long ago. 
I *think* it was available for FS5/FS95 or maybe FS98/FS2K??
I'm blanking on who designed it. It was one the more prolific designers from the Y2K era, maybe check that "kitchen sink" download of Alphasim Oldies? I want to say Kaz did a version but I don't think he did?
As far as FS9, I don't think so BUT maybe you could try to find it and convert it up to FS9 standards (minus the VC)?

The other thing about the XF-84, the test pilots hated flying it and it spent most of its time on the ground.
-You couldn't cram enough foam in your helmet to blank-out the vibration and the sound level was painful.
-Imagine the sound output from a TU-95 except you're sitting about six feet away from the source.
-Pilots reported everything from tunnel vision to getting sick due to the vibration, in level cruise flight.
-Republic started out with an idea to build a long-range fighter but it morphed more into a study of "Mach 1 plus" prop tips.

Yes, there is an FS9 'Screech. It's by Chick Bacus and was released on FlightSim.
Since FlightSim remains under reconstruction you can grab a copy from my A-Drive:

I've never flown it or even inspected it closely so I can't tell you if it's any good.
Have fun!

indeed Kazunori Ito created one for FS2002, updated/ported-over to FSX flyable standards by Michael Pook: https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=thunderscreechWow, that one takes me back to a time long ago.
