I’ve flown business on several A380 operators, including many trips with Emirates. The cabin is very quiet compared to other types. Add some cheap foam earplugs, then your over-ear noise cancelling headphones, switch them on for a few more db of effect. Economy tends to be noisier due to the number of people there and increased ratio of kids. Loved bar area and the mini-suite concept for those operators that do it. I for one will miss this gentle giant. Probably as close as you’ll get to a modern day version of the flying boat luxury of the empire age.
