Yes. Relatively speaking.
Louder than our old 320's which are quite a bit louder than Frontier's (newer) 320's. Plus, you're sitting there for hours and hours, so the ambient noise gets old after a while. I wear earplugs much of the time.

At least on the 73, most guys are seeing the wisdom of ANR and breaking down for a set, but it’s generally just the earpiece on the 777. I do see a few QC/UFM combos below 18, but everyone’s on speaker in cruise. Basically, instead of trying to understand the Mexican controllers, now I’m struggling to decipher the Russian and Greek ones. The extra $40/hour does tend to ease the pain, though.

It does depend on the plane. Some of the older A's seem to have nosier recirc fans at the gate. Once you get airborn, it's not that bad. But it is bad enough to run with the L recirc fan off on the ground. Much quieter than the 757's and hugely quieter than the guppies.
Yes, the 300's are quieter.
But I will say, it is really annoying when a guppy guy tries to wear a noise cancelling headset, and all he does is say "Huh?" when you are trying to talk to him.

The point is the 777 is not that loud in flight. Either wear ear plugs, or use something where you can hear the other pilot.
