Funny you guys should mention that.  My spouse's first
experience in a GA aircraft was a C-172.  Didn't like it - too
noisy - sounded like it was trying to rattle itself to death.
Didn't have much enthusiasm for the build, either ...

... until ... we caught a ride in Marc Zeitlin's COZY MkIV.
It was ~much~ quieter (amazing how much less noise there
is when you're running away from it, instead of flying right
into it!) and much less vibration. Seating was far more
comfortable, too.  Enthusiasm level went up dramatically. 

Unfortunately, so did our work schedules. (sigh)
