Is Airbus louder than Boeing?

According to a June 2022 study on in-cabin noise in widebody aircraft, The Airbus A350 is slightly noisier than the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, although not by much at all. The aircraft incorporates advanced noise reduction technologies and sound-insulating materials to minimize engine noise and vibrations.

The source of certain Airbus planes' characteristic barking noise is a component known as the Power Transfer Unit (PTU). This is an element of the aircraft's hydraulic systems, and it facilitates the switching of power from one system to another in the event of a failure.

It was found that Boeing had more accidents than expected, while Airbus had fewer (p = 0.015). In terms of fatalities, Boeing had more than expected, with Airbus fewer (p < 0.001). Looking at accidents alone, only the number of fatalities was statistically significantly different.

Airbus emphasizes commonality across its aircraft models, meaning that pilots can more easily transition between different Airbus aircraft. This approach benefits airlines by reducing training time and costs. Boeing's aircraft, in contrast, have more variation in cockpit design and systems.

Airbus single aisle aircraft such as the A320 have a wider fuselage compared to the Boeing 737. This allows for a seat that is 18” in width, giving you more comfort. Also, having a wider fuselage allows for a wider aisle and this allows better flow when moving to another seat, the lavatory or galley.
