Tyre noise

Which factors determine tyre noise? Is it just the tyre, or does wheel geometry play a part? I had a Dunlop SP Sport Blueresponse fitted to front N/S. Not what I had ordered, but a mobile tyre fitter came and said they didn't have what I ordered after all. So he fitted the Blueresponse which he had in his van. I would normally pick a low-noise tyre. This tyre is extremely noisy from the drivers RHD seat. The noise is so bad that it really spoils the car. The noise is clearly road dependent, and I checked that the inner wheel arch plastic lining is intact. The pattern now has 2-3mm left.
