What Causes Loud Tire Noise?
1 Answers
Tire noise is primarily caused by vibrations generated from the contact and friction between the tires and the road surface. Here are the relevant details: On roads with varying degrees of roughness, the sources of vibration may differ. For example, most daily driving roads are relatively rough, and these rough surfaces are the main source of tire noise. When driving on smooth asphalt roads, the vibrations produced by the contact between the tread blocks of the tire's patterned surface and the ground become the primary source of noise. Additionally, tire noise is also related to the material of the tire—the harder the tire compound, the louder the tire noise.
