Please don't let this become another of those topics where a simmer sitting at his computer in his comfortable envirionment "probably" knows better than someone who has actually been there and done it. We have enough of that nonsense when it comes to FM debates, don't we?

I know what you mean. I wasnt' referring to your flight but mainly to the video posted, where it seems that they are flying with the cockpit windows open and the question naturally pops up into mind..."is it really that loud with windows closed as well?". Judging from what you say, it seems to make little or no difference.
