Default Bridgestone H/P Sport or H/L Alenza?

I'm torn between the ultra quiet highway all season ride of the Alenza and the performance of the H/P Sport. I live in South Florida so cold and snow are not a factor.

Currently, I have the Goodyear F1's that came with the car and at 10k miles, they are SOOO LOUD I can hardly hear my self think! The howling is so distracting and just plain ruins the luxury of my Q7 4.2 Premium. I know, I know the summer performance tires are going to get loud but this is ridiculous!

What are your thoughts? I'm leaning toward the Alenza for the quite but the Load Rating is only 107 (2094lbs) vs 110 (2337lbs) for the Goodyear and the H/P Sport. I don't do any towing of any significance and rarely ever load the car up either.

I just put the RE050 Pole Positions on my SL and they feel great and for now, they're quiet. The H/P Sport has the same tread pattern.

Do we REALLY need high performance tires on a 0-60 in 7 seconds truck??? Which tire will give me the least regrets?
