I'm curious from an implementation standpoint - more a developer question - is noise level based more on reactor setting or knots?

So let's say we've got a Skipjack and a Sturgeon. Sturgeon is, by the game files, a quieter noise level boat. But is that at equivalent speed, or equivalent reactor setting?

For example, both boats going 20 knots. Skipjack may only have to be at Standard to achieve this, Sturgeon at Full (just guessing, without verifying in game). Will the Sturgeon be quieter at equivalent speed? Or is that nullified by the fact that it's running at a higher reactor setting?
