Does tire noise mainly come from the front or rear wheels?
1 Answers
Tire noise mainly comes from the front wheels. Tire noise generally consists of three parts: 1. Air noise caused by the airflow in the tire tread gaps and the air disturbance around the tires; 2. Tire vibration noise caused by the vibration of the tire body and tread patterns; 3. Road noise caused by uneven road surfaces, especially when driving on bumpy roads, where the friction and impact between the tire tread and the ground generate noise, which resonates with the vibration of components such as fenders and wheel arches, amplifying the noise inside the car. Tire noise is produced by the friction between the tires and the road surface when the vehicle is driving at high speeds. The level of tire noise depends on road conditions, vehicle conditions, and the type of vehicle. For example, passenger cars and trucks will have different noise levels, and the worse the road conditions, the greater the tire noise. Additionally, there is a significant difference in tire noise between asphalt roads and concrete roads.
