BMW X3 suffering from exsessive tyre noise

I drive a BMW X3 (registered 2011) with Pirelli Cinturato P7 run flat tyres, which I find very noisy, can you suggest a quieter tyre for this vehicle?

A lot depends on the size. Standard size is 225/60 R17 and they will be the quietest. Drove an F25 X3 on Dunlops that size on Monday and they were fine. To save yourself ever getting stuck on the hard shoulder stick to runflats
