I would expect LRR tires to be quieter, as there is less rolling resistance, though this is just my first thought on it, not a scientific statement.

Weight will make a difference if you are driving in the city, but on the highway rolling resistance is a lot more important for FE than weight. In the city, I'm not sure which would be more important, as rolling resistance can make up a very large proportion of the drag on a car at lower speeds.
