Yes, you are correct.

Reducing noise is one of the things that some tyre companies put a lot of effort into. Others don't try.

Yes, as Gordon said, cheap tyres are noticeably noisier than a decent set. They can also become noisey if the tyres out of shape, too flat, or if the treads start to lift on one edge.
