The Russian Tu-144 knockoff was even worse. I've seen the passenger experience memorably described as "so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you screaming".
- mabbo 8y agoI couldn't resist learning more about this. > Passengers seated next to each other could have a conversation only with difficulty, and those seated two seats apart could not hear each other even when screaming and had to pass hand-written notes instead. Noise in the back of the aircraft was unbearable. Alexei Tupolev acknowledged the problem to foreign passengers and promised to fix it, but never had the means to do so. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-144 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-144
