A380's first major problem...

...Its too quiet!

QUOTE

Weary Emirates Airbus A380 pilots are complaining that they cannot sleep in their crew-rest area in the aft main cabin because the aircraft is too quiet. The pilots say that the lack of engine noise in the A380's cabin compared with other long-haul airliners means they are constantly disturbed by sounds created by passengers, such as crying babies.[/quote]

Its true though, even from the outside- the first thing that the guys down at NZAA told me when I asked what they thought of it was, it's too quiet for a machine of it's size!
