Here's an old Eastern Airlines commercial for their then-new Boeing 727 that touts it's quietness.
I had the unfortunate experience of flying on Northwest’s 727s between Detroit and Phoenix a few times in the early 90s before they were retired. Quiet is not a word I would use to describe the 727, especially the time that I was unfortunately relegated to the very last row in coach, right between the three engines. That many well have been the longest 4 hours of my life.

I once flew on a 727. I think it was in 94.
Not a bad experience except for the breakfast sausages.

Simon…. Are you referring to the Breakfast sausages that were left over from the 1960's?
