I don't know how much downshifting contributes to noise, but according to Google:

"Tire and road noise are the two biggest factors when it comes to traffic noise. Since electric vehicles don't improve that part of the equation, overall traffic noise will still be there. When isolated, electric vehicles are very quiet, but from afar, highways and busy roads will still sound roughly the same."
