During the transient phases of flight, taxi, take-off, climb, descent, landing there are loud high pitched whines that are very uncomfortable to the ear. It feels as if there is hardly any noise insulation (weight saving?)
4 times on it now and totally concur. Also the flap buffets seem far worse than on most other comparable aircraft.

All in all, just another aircraft - nothing special for the pax - probably great for the operator.
