Aircraft
I flew the 737 Max aircraft for the first time and noticed an aircraft characteristic that I do not like. The altitude alerting system gives a loud buzz in the headset 900 ft. prior to level off MCP altitude. This buzz drowned out ATC communications twice during climbout due the timing of ATC communications. I was unable to determine what ATC was saying.
B737 MAX Captain reported noise on headset when using air/ground communications systems.
