Is Boeing 777-300ER noisy?

In the upper deck, there is no engine noise to speak of. In the forward section of the 777 (normally this is business class) the noise is a loud but muffled (think of a speaker under a pillow), but not as loud as in the entire economy class cabin. In economy class the noise is atrocious on the 777.

Which Seats to Avoid. First, I'd avoid any seats up against a bulkhead wall (typically in the last row of a cabin), since recline will be limited. That includes seats 51A and B (pictured above), along with 51K and L. In this category, you'll also want to skip 22DEFG, 37ABC, 37DEFG, 37JKL and the four seats in row 52.

Haven't flown those on BA, but the A350 is much quieter than the B777 and would be my choice for that reason alone. You're also likely to have a newer cabin, unless BA refurbished the 777s. Our flight between Denver and Heathrow is on an A350.
