My first Flexjet ride was on a Gulfstream G450. The noise level was not just low, it was surgical. At 41,000 feet, the cabin felt like a sealed test chamber.

Anyway... I had logs to process, funnel anomalies to debug. We were tracking strange latency from SEA traffic. Postbacks were delayed, not dropped. I needed quiet to isolate variables.

And that's what I got. No hum. No buzz. Just a kind of cognitive emptiness that makes you hear your own thinking more sharply.

I had enough stillness to make better decisions.

Silence, I've learned, is an accelerant for clarity.
