I tend to agree with you. It's not the engine sound that bothers me, it's little kids screaming, hearing sneezes, etc. that get to me. In fact, many people have actually found the quietness of the A380 engines to be a detriment to the flying experience because suddenly they can hear others' quiet conversations and other such noises that remind you you're tightly packed with 300+ other people.
- cryptoz 13y agoI was just reading the wikipedia page on the A380 and discovered that in an all-economy configuration it can seat 850 people. Blew my mind.
- TillE 13y agoIt also means I can actually hear the flight attendant. And personally, human noise really doesn't bother me. I ride public transit all the time without issue. It's just the constant loud wind/engine noise that gives me a headache. Objectively, the A380 is by no means quiet (compared to a modern train for example), but the level of cabin noise feels much less oppressive.
