Quiet summer tyres for a Volvo V50?

You have in the past recommended quiet-running tyres. I find the 17-inch Pirelli P7 (which I run from April to October) produces a noticeable amount of noise on most surfaces. Do you have an up-to-date recommendation?

Michelin Pilot Primacy HP if you can get them to the correct profile. They go down to about 50 profile, maybe 45, but not 40.
