When we stayed in 2118, my parents were in 2116 and didn't complain about any noise. Sure you hear & feel the thrusters during docking but we have also felt it in the dining rooms and all over the ship. It never bothered me but maybe that's what people refer to as noisy.
The Promenade hallway is above those rooms though I guess the lounge probably starts near where your door would be? I don't know. I've also been in 2618 which was described as noisy from being below the kitchen and we heard the clank of pots once or twice but nothing that would make me think for a second it was causing me to have a bad cruise.
That's so funny! What are the odds? 
I've been in 2118 on the Magic & the Wonder and we love that it's right at the elevator lobby. We can tell immediately by our door magnets if we've made a wrong turn out of the elevator or off the stairs.
We also just stayed in 2108 in Oct and didn't have any noise. Our 1st cruise was in 2106, also great room and a tad closer to the laundry area if that matters to you.
Just booked 2118 again for 2012 out of NY.
I have just booked this room (2118) for the Med 2013. Could you let me know what condition it is in when you get back.
Do you do trip reports?
Sorry, we switched our sailing from NY to an Alaskan cruise. Dh has seen all of Nassau he wants to see and we still have another cruise there on the Dream very soon.
That's okay, so long as you have a fabulous time cruising.
It will be my first ever cruise on the Magic next year, so I guess I was just extra excited to hear someone would be in room 2118. lol
