Certainly, any owner could do this but it would be a mistake. Even the quietest available tires would be very noisy. The Primacy is already a quiet tire.
Since you want to argue.

I am on RSR Super Down lowering springs, stock power, and now have the gripper and much, much, MUCH quieter tires. Other than having to work a little harder at breaking the rear end loose do not feel for one second that the handling has been made worse. In fact I really like the improvement in handling a have in my daily driving scenarios. The noise is easily reduced by well more than 50% and I am now hearing rattles and clicks I have never heard in the 3 years I have driven it. I spend a minimum of 14 hours a week driving it with 98% of that time at high speeds on the highway so am pretty sure I know that it is much quieter now then it was on the stock tires (we won't even bring the noise the snows made into the debate). This assertion that the car can not be made quieter with different tires is not realistic.
