I have to concur with CWS and flatlander - the 777's ventilation system is so noisy that any other noise is really not an issue on this plane. In my experience on AA and EK B77Ws I've convinced myself that there is some component of the HVAC system right in front of door 2 that makes this the loudest part of the plane as well.
So if you like white noise sleeping won't be an issue, but listening to the IFE or communicating with FAs might!
