As an aside I would say beware. I always use noise cancelling headsets. I have never got round to measuring the actual level, but the A320/321 ventilation and airstream noise of some I have flown is quite loud - especially if the filters are blocked. 6-8 hours or more of that every day could damage your hearing. A330 is quieter, but I still normally keep my ANR headset on. If your hearing gets damaged there is no cure - it can’t be fixed.
