I have an upcoming flight in a few weeks, booked late in the game. Only seats left are 4A/K and both middle seats in row 3. A380 equipment.

I've read the most recent posts above, which seem to indicate row 4 A and K aren't ideal. I am going to try and sleep a bit. ( It will be an early morning ex-DXB departure, I'm arriving from Asia overnight). Is this noise thing really an issue? I've never sat in row 4 before. I've sat in row 2 and 3 middles and windows and they were all fine, although I like the window more was a solo traveler, which I am on my upcoming trip.

How big of an "issue" is the noise in row 4 windows? On a presumably pretty full to full flight? Would you swap 4A/K to one of the row 2 middles as a solo traveler ? Or is it one of those fairly minor things and no big deal? I'm guessing I'll be pretty tired and gunning for some sleep. Fwiw I don't mind if the galley can see into the suite I usually just close the doors.
