I own an older Noctua (the one that used to come with their heatsinks) and I have a GentleTyphoon AP-14 somewhere, there was certainly no audible difference between the two.  I never used them on a heatsink though so I can't really speak for which performs better.

The NOCTUA industrial fans are louder.
They do have good GREAT static pressure.

Are they still louder if I ran both industrial and non at 1500 rpm?

That's what I did when I was in your predicament.  Good choice.

Here's a great link/site with videos comparing 12 different fans (all of which we've been discussing are mentioned here) with real life uses like on rads or heatsink:

You can try http://www.silentpcreview.com/ if that helps... they are the king about noise level testing and are extremely strict about stray sounds as well, even post audio recordings of the air coolers in action. 


Have water, will cool.
