Most Gas Engines are "Up Front" and thus there is nore engine noise but frankly at Idle I can almnost hear my 8.1L (Well almost not hear it) and I've had issues where my ears heard the problem before any other indication showed up. that said My wife sitting beside me, could NOT hear the problem. But I've been listening to gas engines for like 50 years (At the time) Longer now.
Diesels are generally designed for very long haul, Gas engines may or may not be (I once drove a Gas SEMI tractor, Ford 8000 Gas Conventional).
But Diesels are also 2x the price.
My recommendation is "What you are comfortable with".. Though I have driven both Gas and Diesel vehicles,, I'm most comfortable with gas. and that's what I Own.
