Only the old (50s`/60s`) SSNs had loud cooling pumps.

Probably would be decided by the quality of the sonar hardware and software. Both nations are said to be extremely good in sonar tech. I would expect Seawolf's advantage would be its greater speed. 212's advantage would be that it probably is that certain bit quiter.
I read today that the German government still hopes (yeah, these stupid simpletons indeed
hope for it) to sell 214s to - Pakistan.
If that deal ever happens, it deserves some executions done in the Kanzleramt's garden, imo. Retarded unscrupulous bastards.
