Sit in the nose.....least traffic and the quietest cabin in the AC. The solo seats in row 5 are too loud with AC units above albeit fantastic for personal space. If you can get a window seat in the nose say 2A or opposite side and seat free beside you I'd consider that the ultimate situation. Of course if you score the old F cabin (non-refurbished 744) Row 1 or 3 window are ace. Row 1 for ultimate privacy and row 3 for most space around the seat.
Upper deck 744, row 14 exit row in any seat. Second choice would be row 15 in a window seat with seat free beside you. Front of upper deck(row 11 & 12)is slightly noisier; rear upper deck (16/17) noisy with due to galley clatter, they do try to be as quiet as possible but it's inevitable they make noise at meal preparation times.
