When converting from 737-300 to -800 one of the more notable differences to me was the lack of engine-noise (on the aproach that is, not in cruise!!!) on the -800 flightdeck. On the -300 (-700 as well by the way) one can almost keep the correct speed by listening. Personally I find that a certain amount of engine-sound gives excellent feedback about powersettings without having to look at N1 every time.
As I can imagine that on 777's and alike the engines can't be heard at all, would some sort of computer-generated engine sound on the flightdeck be helpful. Or maybe it already exists <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
Any thoughts???
