Seatguru recommended these seats due to the configuration, but nothing was noted about the noise. Also will we potentially feel amplified turbulence effects because we will be so far away from the wings, which may act as a fulcrum?
Slightly quieter than right behind the wing but not much. You should purchase some quality ear plugs for a few dollars if you, like me, don't want to shell out $300 on some QC2s. I have a pair that block 60% of the noise and cost me $10.
