Seems noise levels wont improve much with today's tires: > Traffic noise is created by vehicle exhaust systems, engines, and by contact of tires with the road during travel. Of these, tire contact with the road accounts for 75 to 90 percent of the overall traffic noise.

That depends on speed for sure.

  Above 20mph, you’re mostly hearing tire noise as far as I can tell. And I’d say most driving is above 20. Most people kind of forget about tire noise when purchasing tires. I don’t think most people put much thought in tires ever anyway.

    Exactly why there need to be regulations for tire noise.

      Unlikely to ever pass - I'd assume. All those who like to go off roading would see all their tires never pass.
