tire noise
Rubber on asphalt
Tire noise is the sound produced by tires rolling on a road surface—the hum, whine, or roar that increases with speed and varies with pavement texture and tire design.
Engineers work to reduce tire noise for quieter cabins: The new tires cut down on tire noise significantly.
Aggressive tread patterns tend to produce more tire noise than smooth ones.
