I have been in the first row of the section of economy you refer to and had the same experience you did with people lining up for the bathroom. It wasn’t great. Both business and PE on Westjet’s 787 are very private cabins, which is one reason I choose WS for my London flights.
The only time economy guests are allowed to use the Dreamliner PE washrooms are when the aisles are blocked by service carts when there’s no way for the server to allow the guest to pass by to an economy washroom. It’s not frequent and certainly no “line up”. The only noise might be from cabin crew in the galley serving meals and setting up/putting away service equipment for your meal services.
