Post Leaning and squealing

Take 2 cars of the same make,same motor, same tires, same driver, one with factory suspension, and one with a sport and lowered suspension. Around the corners on a track, does the car with the lowered and beefed up suspension squeal less? Reason is, since I lowered my 996, I noticed that the hairpin turn I take daily isn't as audibly noticable. Wishful thinking, but I think I can hear the difference!

Sure. Both the lowering and the stiffer suspension result in less body roll thus less weight transfer. This means increased cornering capacity, so you would have to go faster to make tire noise and at the limit, you will make less noise (but not silent).
