You might stop and consider that they have far more time back there and know more about vibrations and noises in those areas than you do sitting up front. It's another piece of information to help make a decision.
Over the years I have paid quite a bit of attention to what my F/As told me and many times I found their information quite worthwhile.
Of course, some people just naturally have all of the answers .......
