Only at very low speeds, past 30km/h (18mph) the noise from the tyres starts to approach or surpass the noise from the engine so they're nearly equivalent.

- rplnt 2y agoYes, but then there are few idiots with modified cars (or most motorbikes in general) that are orders of magnitudes louder and can be heard from kilometers away.
- harywilke 2y agoThere are efforts to attack the car tyre noise problem by grinding groves into the surface of the road. it's called "Next Generation Concrete Surface" I remember hearing about it on the "Twenty Thousand Hertz" podcast [0] [0] https://www.20k.org/episodes/sonicutopia https://www.20k.org/episodes/sonicutopia
- PeterStuer 2y agoWe had grooved concrete here some decades ago. Luckily they got rid of those as the noise was much worse than normal surfaces.
