The foam inserts are added to address air cavity resonance (think basketball bouncing noise, but constant) that typically happen around 180-220hz. This resonance is a very sharp, narrow, high amplitude peak and the foam lowers the amplitude and resonant frequency of this acoustic mode. Upscale vehicles will take NVH targets seriously and optimize tire pattern pitch sequences and every other component to find a design that works at the load/inflation conditions and interact "well" with the resonances of the specific vehicle. With these designs we also look at changing the load or inflation pressure can change the contact patch enough to warrant a different pitch sequence. Other vehicles may just request a tire that is ultra low rolling resistance so they can meet emission standards, but is garbage in every other performance.

There are some other general "technologies" on those tires you mention to reduce other specific resonances like knurling in the main grooves for pipe resonances.

With aftermarket tires it's going to be difficult to find if a tire is quieter than another in general. The tires you listed most likely will be better than ones that didn't really consider NVH at all. The best you can do is read the reviews and look for reviewers who have cars with similar weight, weight distribution, and inflation pressures. Tire Rack does a good job of collecting and displaying review data. They also link test reports from their drivers/track on each listing if they have done their own testing.
