I heard that in the middle, you don't hear much as you do from the front or back.

Mel, mid ship is always a good deal. More calm if you have rough seas and usually located away from elevators so less noise.
I'll be in room 7654 for her October 19th sailing. If you have any questions or want any specific pictures just send me a PM and I'll try to get them for you while onboard.

Interior cabins aft, near where the stack comes up from the engine room will have a fairly loud constant noise level that is not heard at all up front.

This great info was posted by Red Sonja:

There is a lot to consider depending on your ship and itinerary but I learned one lesson the hard way... the gangplank is on the starboard side of the ship so if you are on a lower deck, it is very loud first thing in the morning. Especially debarkation day! We were woken at about 3:30am.

Also, the tenders are released from starboard side so if you are mid level or higher on the ship, you will get to hear this racket first thing.

If you like to sleep in late at all, sleep port side.

Legend 4226---balcony is 1/2 the size of a normal one, even though it looks big on deck plans
