I've forgotten the model number of that Fokker too, but it has to rank way up
there as one of the noisiest aircraft ever built.  Also, from a passenger
standpoint, it was incredibly tight on the inside.
It also was equipped with those tail cone "clamshell" air brakes that led to 
so many "true stories" about rude noises while queued up for departure.
