I must be a bit weird but strangely, I find the drone of the 777 engines and the slight rocking motion quite soothing.

Thanks BT. One of the PR points that Boeing made with the T7 was the size of the motors. I recall a diagram showing that the dimension of them is almost equiovalent to the whole fuselage of the original 737-100 (I sit to be corrected on that) in which case they are MASSIVE and must make a massive amount of noise. The benefit of the operator, as you say, is in two motors not four.
Just for you, PAXboy, here's one I took earlier...
