In the noise/age relation lies a little frequency thing, when you don't have regular event of mind-flow, you care about not disrupting them.
A dev I know and I experienced another strong disrupting setup: having unsimilarly thinking person near you (colleagues, parents). Their mere presence shuts you down even if they make no sound. As soon as they left, your mind fills the room.
Comparing airport (place) with train (vehicle) is not fair. With large enough seats and no AC a plane is as nice as a train. Engine sound filtering through ~= rain sound. I stumbled upon laptop fan recordings, the low freq air flow has the same texture and effect as an engine. Guess fest explanation : pre-birth frequencies heard through the mother's body.
