No prob.  I have rode in and piloted a few different helicopters (R22, B206,
S-76, AS350).  They all have a few things in common.  They shake like a
bastard - just the nature of a helicopter, and most are suprisingly quiet
inside.  I can only speak about civilian helicopters.  With military
helicopters, light weight is top priority and sound-proofing is
non-existent, plus they usually fly 100mph+ with the doors open.
