[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 661868, member: 3960"] I don't think we hear much noise from the engines of modern cars but the tyres have got a lot more noisy. You really notice the noise in a van if your tyres are half worn out and even if you've got used to the noise you the enormous difference with some brands of tyre. I used to have a Subaru Forrester, it was a great vehicle that did over 400,000km before I sold it but it suffered from road noise on the Bridgestone tyres. At one point I bought a set of Continentals and all at once the vehicle was almost silent even when the road surface changed. The other thing that makes a huge difference to noise is the type of road surface. Some roads give a nice quiet ride while others sound like you're riding on steel. Perhaps we'll see some improvements in these areas if the car you're driving is silent. [/QUOTE]
