I went up in a glider once and was surprised by all the noise - wind noise as the glider rushes through the air at ~ 100 mph(?) and all sorts of banging caused by minor turbulence on the airframe.

It certainly can't compare to the noise experienced by one in a P-51 at 250 kts when removing their DC headset in flight.

My ears will never be the same....
