I'd personally say you just experienced an equipment upgrade.
I would echo these sentiments about the A319 - the engines (and the A320, IMHO) always seem louder than the 737 planes. The bulkhead row is better in the A319 since it is only a curtain, and the exit rows are fairly similar in terms of legroom. The A319/20 seats feel a little wider as well. If I had to choose, I would always want the 737 planes over the A319.
