I should have articulated better. I meant how I feel while the cabin pressure changes. Placebo? Perhaps. Or perhaps related to the ascent/descent profiles.

To each their own . Weirdly I don't feel this way about similar takeoffs in smaller aircraft. Humans are weird, eh.

Landings aren't really notable to me, but the descent is (typically into YYZ). For all I know, it's down to individual landings, pilots, or something else entirely (placebo )

Absolutely.
