The 787 is far more comfortable than earlier aircraft in regards to vibration, sound, air quality, and lighting - there's a lot of internal upgrades. My mother who has had severe headaches and sinus issues that are extremely sensitive to altitude pressure when flying through the 1990s-2010s has had no problems since flying on the 787.

The 787 cabin pressure is equivalent 5000 ft above sea level versus 8000 ft for older planes. Essentially Denver versus Aspen.
They also created a 3D microphone array that they used to map the sound inside the airplane and spend the dampening budget in the places that will get the most impact.
