Summer tires would be appropriate for the Boxster and where you live. ECSTA XS's aren't the best.
This is the salient point ... most all tire brands and models get noisy when worn ... even when just old. The rubber goes from nice and soft to harder, too.

There are noise differences between new tires, and places like tirerack.com will often have comparison test results.
