Quieter tyres for an i30?

On your excellent recommendation in 2009 we bought a Hyundai i30 1.4 Comfort under the scrappage scheme and have been delighted with it. As you I think have pointed out the tyres the car came with produce quite a bit of road noise. These are coming to the end of their life: what quieter (or much quieter!) affordable tyres would you recommend as replacements please?
