Art of Animation Family Suite noise levels

We are thinking of booking a AoA family suite this August. I really like the idea of having 2 bathrooms and a couple different sleeping options for our kids (14 and 12). My question is what is the noise level within the hallways, and the rooms next door, especially with the new rooms getting rid of the carpet? We were looking at booking a room at Saratoga Springs, with the summer discount option, but we are quick service food people and I like the idea of the gondola's being close by. The suites are also cheaper.

When we stayed in an AoA suite the year it opened it was so loud I vowed to never stay there again and we never have. I found the bedding to be incredibly uncomfortable as well.

That's kind of what I was afraid of. I watched a youtube video of a recent room tour and could hear people in the background talking from outside the room. Wasn't sure if it was from the room next door or in the hallway? My other thought is kids running up and down the hallways, and noise echoing, as people return to their rooms at night.

Due to medical reasons, my son has to have uninterrupted sleep so we requested a quiet area in the Lion King section. They put us on the top floor, towards the end of the hallway. It was perfect. Very quiet and we could go down the stairwell in the AM to the bus stop. Just request a quiet area.
