It's something I haven't heard or felt on any other Delta aircraft.

Is this something unique to the A320 in general or is it the fit and finish of the interiors that Delta ordered?
In my experience, the 319/320s make different, but not more noise than the 738s on take-off and climb-out. At cruise, I find the 320s to me more quiet.
