In reply to the comment, "Simple question", no it isn't. I doubt anyone has done a noise level/cause study, the answers you are getting are "opinions".
For instance our Bounder with a 454cid V-8 was extremely noisy, our Winnebago with the V-10 is not bad. So in essence my experience validates your experience. But I wear hearing aids in part due to those da** Marine Cannons used in ceremonial 21 gun salutes and I can't hear all my wife can hear.
So however unfortunate it is, it's going to be a tough decision just using other folks opinions. We love our Winnie and the noise is minimal in our opinion. We listen to music, make phone calls and talk to one another with ease. But maybe after having owned the Bounder our expectations were lower than yours are and the Winnie might drive you nuts.
