Re: T-tail aircraft
Fortuna, the very rear rows of a rear engined jet are noisy, but a bit further up the cabin it can be incredibly quiet. I flew on an AA MD-something (stretched modern DC9) and couldn't believe how quiet it was- far quieter than the rear cabin of a 737 with the jet blast. The biggie was sitting in the rear cabin crew seats on a 737-200. The 2 stewardesses were communicating on take-off with hand signals (women never stop gossiping), and I was looking at them in alarm at the sheer volume of racket- and that after piloting them for 6 years- I had no idea they were so noisy in the rear.
