Hm, is it much? I mean, apart from the clattering from the galley? I thought planes that large handled engine noise well enough... Though maybe it was quieter toward the middle. I want to do an experiment now, but it'll have to wait two weeks for the next time I'm on a plane.
If the tradeoff were between slightly more noise, and fewer passengers, I'm not sure which would be my choice. I think for me, if I'm going to sleep, leg/arm-room might win, because I don't mind the engine sound while I'm sleeping. At least, compared with the likelihood of somebody jostling me from the next seat over.
It's funny, the calculus of what-works-for-us for sleeping...
