Which high speed train are you comparing to?
I find aircraft much noisier than any train. More like magic vacuum cleaners, they seem to be the best use of noise-cancelling headphones and earplugs aren't uncommon.
Vibration depends on how well the track is maintained, but there are certainly fewer surprises (turbulence). There are videos online of people balancing coins on trains — I did this myself once from Malmö to Copenhagen Airport, though that is only 200km/h.
I'm not sure what harshness is in this context.

There are lots of upsides to HSR such as extremely good seat pitch and total absence of security theater, and it's true that the airliners has a loud constant white noise, but when it comes to noise and vibrations, I feel airplanes less... intermittent and less interrupting. Those Recaro camp chairs aren't too bad either.
