On the topic of A380 v 777, there is much less ambient noise in the A380, I agree, but I actually find that a problem. You can hear someone cough halfway across the biz cabin because it is a quieter cabin. I much prefer having more white noise that you get with a 777, it tends to drown out more coughs, plates clinking, lavatory door slamming...
Yes, it was white noise.
I absolutely agree, A380 is so much quieter, hence I mentioned Y, that too next to the wing is so quiet.
However, this was not your usual white noise, this was, perhaps air-con types noise- the one like in which only one air con vent was open and was hence noisy. On the same lines, the cabin was perfect temperature, not to warm, not cold.
Other noise like gallery noise / plates or lavs did not reach me.
Guess next time I am selecting 2A again to find out what it could have been.
