I am always mildly entertained by the complaints about comfort and particularly, noise.

Anything, repeat anything presently in commercial service is just so much better than even 30 years ago particularly with regard to noise. The advent of high-bypass turbines has reset the scale from the early turbine jets.

And if you want noise, try a Canadair Argonaut Singapore to London - a three day journey and you're sitting in between two pairs of V12 Rolls Royce Merlins - without silencers! The Pratt and Whitney radials on the Constellation on the way out were silent by comparison!
