| Mar 13, 2023 at 19:01 | comment | added | ghellquist | The experience really is not about air pressure. We as humans have very few ways of actually experience air pressure. (Exceptions are things like congested vents from sinuses or inner ear, or gases in the stomach). What we mostly experience is changes in air pressure and they happen just about equally regardless of position in the cabin. But what does differ is sound, especially low frequency rumble from the engines. This, rapidly changing air pressure will be felt differently depending on position in cabin. Some aircrafts are worse (say SAAB SF340) than others. | |

Changed the heading, made some minor changes in the body, changed the tag.

| Mar 12, 2023 at 20:58 | comment | added | Kevin Kostlan | Is this question better suited to Travel stack exchange? Since it concerns a passenger flying commercial? (Aviation is more about laws, how planes work, history of flight, etc). | |

| Mar 12, 2023 at 18:13 | comment | added | fraxinus | I remember running in an old bus long ago (~40 years ago and the bus was already quite old) where the acoustic resonance at some particular engine rpm gave me pain in the ears with some loud infrasound (I could feel the vibration). This happened only in particular place near the rear end of the bus. The effect was reproducible between different busses (they were the same make/model) and drivers. Bus drivers happened to like exactly this frequency / engine rpm for moderate uphills. This may or may not be related, modern airplanes should not have acoustic resonances this sharp. | |
