Am I crazy, or is everyone else completely overstating the frequency of this problem?

I've flown next to other people's babies maybe 20-30 times, and maybe within a row or two of other people's babies another 50 times. I can only remember 1 time where a baby cried for more than a minute or two in my own row, and maybe 2 or 3 times where I could hear a baby crying somewhere on the plane for more than a few minutes.

I also find the drone of an airplane to be very loud and unpleasant, so I tend to want to wear noise canceling headphones anyway. I genuinely can't understand being upset at plane noise + baby over just plain plane noise.
