I agree that the sound difference is likely overstated, but there are two additional factors: * Drag coefficients are significantly lower in EVs, partially because you smooth out the undercarriage and generally get more freedom in aerodynamic design. * Due to range concerns, EV tires tend to be more focused on low rolling resistance. Both of these should gently reduce road noise, if I were to speculate?

You would think but IMO its not like Teslas are any quieter than a camry going down the road so I don't think its a significant factor. If you have one of those fat sedan style Teslas they sound like any new SUV coming down the road too.

To achieve high efficiency, I think tires should be harder. Comfort silent tires are softer.
