Q400

In the Q400 cabin Bombardier used a combination of passive and active vibration suppression. ie they tried to reduce the cause of the noise. This technique doesn't translate well to a jet airframe.

One of the major causes of wind noise in the cockpit are the wipers. I wish they were retractable! If designers worked at it they could probably reduce cockpit noise quite a lot, but that would cost.
