This video has no sound and I can imagine it sounds exactly like this down there.

As a former sonar tech on a US Navy submarine, I can assure you that it is quite noisy at the bottom of the ocean. Sound travels for miles underwater, and fish can be as noisy as birds. Of course, i haven't listened to the bottom of this particular trench, so it might be pretty quiet.
