Answer
Bill,

Certainly, the tires are not going to fix the wind noise.  

But tire noise is another matter.  Tire noise sometimes is just the way the tire interacts with the macrotexture of the road surface.  So the tire may be OK on some road surfaces and terrible on others.

So it's almost impossible to predict if a tire will be quieter ot not.

Hope this helps.
