do different name brands and/or pipping design of cold air intakes affect the...

Differences in brands by itself would not change the sound of an intake but the design and diameter of the piping as well as the length. From what I understand the shorter and "fatter" the pipe the louder the intake would be. A long skinny tube will emmit some F1 style noise high up in the power band. At idle there will not be too much of a difference but you will hear a slight hiss from the engine compartment as long as there is a open filter element like a cone filter.
