1. Are the bulkhead seats in 1/4 going to be too loud with galley or other noise if I want to take a 1 or 2 hour nap between meals?
2. Does the extra legroom in the bulkhead make it at all easier for whoever is in a window seat next to me to step out into the aisle without troubling me, or can I expect some inconvenience in this regard in 1B/4K?
3. Is there noticeably less noise from the engines in row 1 v. 4 and row 4 v. 6?
4. Of the above seats, which one(s) would give me the most privacy?

1) Probably not, especially if you nap between meals.
2) No. It's extra footwell space, not legroom
3) I haven't noticed it, but wear my Bose the entire flight.
4) 4E or 6D. The latter has no one except coach pax coming by.
