If we ignore the lower end products and compare mid and high end products. Is there a noticeable difference between the sound produced while pedaling in the same gear (Not the shifting sound)?
For example if we are talking about shimano, compare tiagra or 105 vs ultegra or durace.
This question is not so much for road use but to use the bike in a trainer inside a flat.

Even lower mid-end drive trains can be relatively silent when they are adjusted well, and lubed; below the noise generated by the tires on pavement.

I think a well-adjusted, modern system from any of the major players in components will be reasonably quiet and generally the same volume level. The trick is to make sure your cable tension, limit screws, and derailleur alignment are tip top. But that's true even if noise isn't an issue.
In your case, I would guess that your trainer will be much louder than your drivetrain.

If the chain and sprockets are clean, properly lubricated and not excessively worn there probably isn't very much difference in the level of sound coming from the drivetrain.
Some indoor trainers make far more noise than the actual bicycle. they also transmit a lot of vibration into the floor they are sitting on. If used in an upstairs room they can project a lot of noise into the room below. Obviously this would be bad in an apartment or flat.

Even lower mid-end drive trains can be relatively silent when they are adjusted well, and lubed; below the noise generated by the tires on pavement.
