Which are the quietest seats the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320?
score:19
Anything level with the engine or rearward thereof will be noisiest during almost all phases of flight. They don't call it the "business end" of the engine for no reason!
Some people have complained about increased ambient noise (not necessarily engine-related) at the very front of aircraft, so I would suggest something not first few rows but no further back than the engines would provide the quietest ride. Also, an aisle rather than window seat is definitely better, in terms of engine and wind caused noise.
JetBlue were asked this question enough to produce a video: http://blog.jetblue.com/where-are-the-quietest-seats-on-a-plane/
If it is not just noise, but comfort, I have heard many anecdotal reports of over the wings being the most stable place to sit, where you will feel less turbulence. But that will come with some increased noise as noted above.

An article on Daily Mail reveals that aisle seats in the front rows are quiter. The numbers of quite rows for Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are also explicitly mentioned in that article.
For passengers flying with a budget airline, they will need to be in the first 14 rows on Ryanair’s fleet of Boeing 737s, or in the first six to eight rows on easyJet’s Airbus A319 or A320 aircraft.
Since those row numbers are for low-cost airlines only, they are very likely to be expensive (e.g. business, first class) for the other airlines.

The only noticeably quieter ride I've ever experienced has been the very front rows of an DC-9/MD-80 family aircraft (or similar) because of the tail mounted engines.
In every other aircraft, 737 & A320 families included, the noise level has been essentially the same throughout the cabin, so...
The quietest place on the aircraft is the one where you're wearing noise-cancelling headphones.
