Were you travelling in F in a 747? If not that must have been one really loud snorer!

Typically the roar of the aircraft engines during cruise is loud enough to drown out all but the very loudest of noises - crying babies excepted

In a 747 and probably the A380, the cabin is a long distance away from the engines, hence the snorers will come into their own.

I can't really blame snorers, not much they can do about it. I always travel with Bose headphones and a decent amp

Tongue in cheek... are you 100% certain you're not a snorer yourself? If you were are you certain your SO would tell you?
