On a recent flight on a Boeing 737, I asked a cabin crew member which seat would be best to take to minimize the audible exposure to engine noise as I was nervous about flying. He responded with 'It's impossible to say, we are a new crew', which did little to settle my nerves.
I ended up sitting in seat 23 C, which turned out to be very loud compared to my other option of 7 D.
So, for future flights on the Boeing 737 and my other usual the A320-200, which seat(s) will be quietest?
