The first long haul flight I ever took was a Gulf Air TriStar from Heathrow to DXB via BAH in 1981. At the time I don't recall it being that loud (mainly because we connected to it from what I think may have been a BA Viscount from Inverness) but stepping on a 777 reminds me of flying in the 80's on beasts like the tristar and DC10.
Whilst interested in planes, my interest doesn't stretch to being excited by the noise of the engines.....quieter the better. As long as they are still working....
