It is noisy to sit in the back of an MD-80/DC-9/717 but I don't think you can say that all tail mounted engines are noisy. The CRJ-700 has tailmounted engines with General Electric CF34-8 engines and the E-170 has wing mounted engines with similar CF34-8 engines. I've never had a decible meter but it has seemed to me the noise is louder in the cabin on the E-170. On the CRJ-700 the engines are so far back behind the last row you don't hear as much noise. (From the cockpit in the CRJ-700 you don't hear hardly anything on takeoff.) Continue on with the 717/737 discussion.
