There's a huge difference between older Dash 8s and the Q series as the latter has the active noise and vibration suppression (ANVS).
As a passenger you can spot the ANVS system by it's small microphones/sensors scattered around the cabin (look like very small "eye" type rivets, usually brass coloured). Alternatively, look for some big lettering on the outside saying it's "QUIET"
