You can't really mix 10 and 11, you'd have to move the cassette, but a true 10 speed hub won't usually fit an 11 cassette.
Other way around is ok though.

A good friend rode a Cervelo with SRAM Red on it. That bike resonated just wrong with the SRAM and was loud as all get out. Perfectly adjusted, but you could just hear everything like it was a sound board for the drive chain.

Pretty much what I thought about the 10-sp/11-sp swap.

I haven't noticed much noise out of my new carbon bike compared to my previous steel Rivendell I had...honestly, the new bike is pretty sweet in every way and some extra noise would bother me. I would guess most of the noise is chain noise or shifting problems...cable stretch and the like.
I would bet dollars to donuts that your feeling that the bike is slow to accelerate is due to heavy wheels and crap tires. I don't know much about that wheel and tire combo, but every Zaffiro tire I've ridden has been crap, so that is why I call them that. It's possible that I haven't ridden them all though, so those pros could be nicer and rather exceptional.

This is true.
There is a spacer behind the 9/10 speed cassette. Take off the 9/10 speed cassette and spacer, slip an 11 speed cassette on, done. It is literally that simple.

ride again, control for wheels and tires, and get your buddy to adjust the derailleurs correctly prior to riding.

The only unusual noise I notice is when stuff gets thrown up by the front tire against the downtube, it makes kind of a strange thunk/ping. We've been having choke Monkeypod tree crap on the road lately, and it is a bit softer than the normal stone thunk.
