What is the loudest Boeing plane?

The loudest aircraft still in commercial service in any significant numbers is the Boeing 727. The 727 is banned from most major airports due to its noise levels. Among aircraft permitted worldwide, the Boeing 747–400 is noticeably louder than other widebody aircraft such as 777, A380 and A350.
