very noisy boeing 777, uncomfortable seat

across the pacific SYD to LAX and return by V australia, 777 both flights very noisy, noted noise cancelling headsets noted in premium economy
surprised at the noise and vibration both in basic economy and premium economy on return, in a fairly modern plane, most noisy since a lockheed tristar flight many years ago
seems some other types of engines used on the 777 are quieter??

virgin planes known for a comfortable seat with enough legroom, as was provided in basic economy, but premium economy seat poorly designed, IMO, not enough support under thighs with continual sliding forward when sleeping or relaxing, footrest of limited help

does anyone actually test the seats by sitting and sleeping in them for about 15 hours to see how comfortable they are?
