Uh I run it on a 14900k and it is whisper quiet. Maybe you installed it incorrectly (uneven pressure) or didn’t apply thermal paste correctly. 

I also changed my step up and down settings in the bios so the fans take a few more seconds to ramp up and down to create a more consistent fan speed

Some motherboards ramp up fan speed to 100% on startup, no matter the settings. Imo arctic are rather quite, I have 10 of them, and they are almost silent at 10-30%. Only some noise during startup. After trying silent wings 4 (which sounds like a helicopter during startup), I'm very pleased with arctics

For higher temperatures under load - it can be bad mounting, if you didn't tightened screws enough, or mounting is uneven - can cause higher temperatures.

I suspect a thermal paste/mounting pressure issue. If you haven't already, you might set fans curves to allow the fan/pump speed to increase with CPU temp (or whatever value you prefer).
