There are YouTube videos with many hours of quiet (meaning no screaming kids or announcements) airplane cabin noise from various plane models.

I just came back from a trip on a Boeing 737-900. The SPL app on my phone measured a C-weighted 90 dB from where I sat just forward of the wings. My Sony headphones did a pretty good job of suppressing normal cabin noise. They did nothing to suppress the sound of a wooden block repeatedly being pounded on the tray-table by an infant across the aisle.
