Good point about long term noise. The 332L2 had an issue with noise, but I think it was primarily the fans needed to keep the crt screens cool. The 225 does not seem to suffer this problem and its a noticeably "low pilot fatigue" machine, in part due to low vibration, but also I think due to low noise (relatively of course!). I have heard that the 92 cockpit is noisier than the 225, but I have nothing concrete to back that up with - that is an area the Sims cannot show up, depends on where the instructor sets the volume knob!
