> What makes you assume that you will have the compartment to yourself? Do you buy six tickets? I've ridden in various trains with 2-seat and 4-seat compartments, which were wonderful. Some of them were sold by the compartment rather than by the seat: you always pay for the whole compartment for your party, so that (for instance) a 3-person group still has the compartment to themselves. And yes, in cases where they're sold by the seat rather than by the compartment, I will absolutely buy 1-2 extra seats for that purpose. But even if not, I'd happily take a six-person compartment with a door, and less background noise.
