Fwiw, I love flying the B787 for many reasons, one of them being the low noise level. But… I wouldn’t go so far as to pay more money for it. The noise factor is not a decision driver, where seat size/leg room and service definitely are when it comes to choosing an airline/route.

The noise level is definitively a very important factor for the airplane operator.

A small low-noise plane can do some much more profitable routes than a high-noise one.

I've never flown on a 787 sadly but I have to say that the Embraer E195-E2 was also surprisingly comfy. Much more comfy than a 737, and thus far small jets had been terrible in my experience. Noisy, especially the back of the 717 beside the engines, cramped. But the Embraer was spacious and modern <3
