on the 767 the rest seat is 1A. Personally I’ve never had an issue with noise in that seat except when the FA’s are doing the service, and even then it is minimal. The curtain doesn’t cut down noise that much. And before and after break, the galley is almost never “brightly lit”. Of course, during break the curtain does do a good job of blocking light, so maybe they turn the lights off right before break is over.
I hope you're right! Just did 4 Pacific flights in Polaris (SIN and ADL roundtrips for vacation). Had 1D for a couple of those legs and 9A for the others. Never again, because of the issues mentioned above. Wifey was a couple rows back and slept like a baby.
