The A380 is too quiet!


Who would have thought that a less noisy aircraft could be a problem. But, apparently, it is. According to this article on Wired.com, the engines on this super-jumbo are so quiet that the other on-board sounds - flushing toilets, screaming babies and snoring passengers - are heard in their complete glory. So much so that Emirates pilots have complained they can't get to sleep during their breaks.
