Prol'ly noisier too. One year in Alaska I decided to run my winter shoes in summer - definitely more noise.

BTW, with 30 years of driving in Alaska, I never owned a studded tire - until I bought my first Vanagon - and 85 GL. First day of Ice and now and it was all over the road. Studded tires went on that day. No more problems. in winter after that.
