I tried to explain how this was a 737 problem as Southwest and American have a solution to this problem. The solution that we are banned from using.

I then called the 737 Fleet Manager and spoke with him. He stated that they had just finished a noise study and it was inclusive. He was disappointed but was continuing to fight this problem. He told me that if nothing changed in the next few months I should write another FCR. But not on every flight.

If we don't complain and write it up it's not going to get fixed.
FYI, on the android and itunes markets there is an app called "smart tools." Included is a soundmeter. The android version maxes out at 85db, not sure about the apple version. I compared it against a scientific quality meter and it was very accurate.

A quiet 757 or 767 seem to be in the 75db range. A loud one can easily hit 85db.

Or the company could put in LCD screens and eliminate all the cooling fans..
