Personally, I prefer 1A because of the window alignment/placement issue in row 2. You won't have any noise problems. The galley is located forward and far to the right on the other side of the plane. Lavatories are far forward, in the small corridor which leads to the flight deck. Having flown in 1A numerous times, I've never experienced any problem with noise.
