Is the Nissan Sylphy noisy in terms of tire noise?

[DelManuel]

Nissan Sylphy does have relatively loud tire noise. Reasons for the loud noise: The loud tire noise is mainly due to the tire material, tire pressure, the design of the tread pattern, and abnormal wear of the tread. Additionally, the overly stiff shock absorbers of the Nissan Sylphy can also contribute to the loud tire noise. Solutions for the loud tire noise in Nissan Sylphy: First, identify the source of the noise. If the noise comes from the chassis, it might be caused by loose buffer springs in the middle section of the exhaust pipe, which is a common issue in some Nissan models and is generally difficult to resolve. The noise could also be due to loose screws in the chassis, such as the front engine underbody guard, or loose parts in the engine compartment. These can be checked by lifting the vehicle for inspection.

I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for a while, and the tire noise really depends on the situation. When driving in the city at slower speeds, the noise isn't too noticeable—it's more like background music humming softly. But when you hit the highway and speed up to over 80 km/h, especially on uneven roads, you can clearly hear the tire's buzzing sound, which can be a bit distracting. The original tires that came with the car are on the firmer side, probably prioritizing durability over quietness. I don't think it affects comfort too much, but it can make your ears tired on long drives. If you're particularly sensitive to noise, you might consider switching to quiet tires—brands like Michelin or Bridgestone have specialized models that are much quieter. Also, checking tire pressure regularly (not too high or too low) can help reduce extra noise. Overall, the Sylphy's tire noise is average for its class—not a major issue, but optimizing it can make the ride more enjoyable.

The tire noise of the Sylphy depends on your driving habits and tire choice. My car enthusiast friend who's into modifications suggested that if you want to reduce noise, you should switch to quiet tires. The standard tires that come with the Sylphy are more economical and practical, with acceptable tire noise at low speeds, but it can get a bit noisy at high speeds when mixed with wind noise. Switching to softer rubber compound tires can reduce noise by several decibels—for example, trying Continental's quiet series can make highway driving as quiet as an office. Also, check if the wheel arch sound insulation is intact; reinforce it if it's aged. Keep the tires clean and free of small stones, as those can create significant rolling noise. As the car ages, the suspension might also affect tire noise, so regular maintenance can prolong its performance. Tire modifications aren't expensive, costing just a few hundred bucks, and the reduced noise makes driving more relaxing. Overall, the Sylphy's tire noise is manageable, and small adjustments can significantly enhance the driving experience.

Tire noise depends more on the tires and road conditions than the car itself. The Sentra is designed as an economical family car, and its original tires may have average noise levels. On highways or rough roads, the friction between tire treads and the road surface generates noise. Low tire pressure increases resistance, while high tire pressure makes the ride harder and louder. As tires wear out over time, noise levels also rise. Switching to quiet tires can solve about 80% of the problem, as noise is primarily determined by tire quality. The Sentra is not considered a car with particularly loud tire noise. Regular maintenance is key to keeping noise levels down.
