I'm on a flat land so I cant compare, but except for the first 30 seconds of the cold startup which is loud, my car is dead silent in comfort when I pull out. I give him those couple minutes to heat up and when I get by the main roads, I put it in sport mode and then it gets louder.
I wouldnt go Eco on those hills because it would put a lot of load on the engine but in comfort you should be fine.
Best thing to do would be to drop by the dealer and ask for a test drive in those hills. And see for yourself. Personally, this is the DREAM setup for me. I like to be loud when I fool around but I like to be stealthy in my neighborhood or when I pull in at business meetings. Same goes when I have to drive around with coworkers or clients. That switch transforms it from being Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde.
