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.
Thank you very much for doing this. I have sent in FCRs about this before as well. The noise level is completely unexceptable. Most guys I fly with have been on the airplane 10+ years and the amount of hearing loss they have is staggering. Pretty sad when there are simple fixes to prevent this.
