Depends on a lot of factors, compound is only one of them.
Directional tyres will generally be noisier than non directional tyre.
Tyres with a wider tread will be noisy and tyres made from poor quality rubber like the cheaper Chinese tyres will too.
A good quality sylica based asymmetrical tyre will usually be the best for all round performance.
What tyres are they??
