this is why I want to have my own private jet...
I flew on my client's private jet across the Pacific a few years ago. What impressed me the most was how quiet the inside was. They must have used so much insulation or sound-deadening material, it was quieter than the new Lexus that I just bought doing 70mph. (but the jet was doing about 450 knots over the Pacific) It was so quiet that I thought I was wearing 31-db earplugs. the pilot told me that the cabin was tested to be under 48 decibels during crusing.... although I shouldn't have been surprised because the interior of the cabin alone cost over $27 million... plus the cost of the jet itself.
on the return flight, I was in the upper deck of a UA 747 and there were only 10 other passengers. Even when nobody was making any sounds, the 747's upper deck was still extremely noisy(again, compared directly to the private jet)
