F-35 or Grizz, Trim Stab?

As far as I'm aware, the A400M isn't particularly noisy. Rumours about the F-35B's noise levels have been proven to be.....utter bolleaux.
I was asking about the A400M primarily, since I had heard (from about 1000 miles away from Seville!) that it is a noisy beast. That is not necessarily an issue when population is generally behind the military as currently, but that might change over the next 30 years or so. Even in the US, there are local opposition groups around some noisy airbases. Just curious if A400 is noisy enough for it to potentially become a long-term issue, especially as civilian aircraft are obliged to become increasingly quieter.
