Talking about noise, the GE90 at 115,000lb thrust vs. the JT8D in the 737-200 at 14,000lb is ~12dB quieter. Taking the difference in thrust into account that’s ~130x less noise per unit thrust, more than two orders of magnitude! GE9X is likely substantially better than that. Quite amazing progress...
