What Causes Loud Tire Noise?
1 Answers
Tire noise is primarily caused by vibrations generated when the tire comes into contact with and rubs against the road surface. Below is a detailed explanation: On roads with varying degrees of roughness, the sources of vibration may differ. For instance, most daily driving roads are relatively rough. These rough surfaces are the main source of tire noise. When driving on smooth asphalt roads, the vibration produced by the contact between the tire tread blocks and the road surface becomes the primary source of noise, due to the various tread patterns on the tire surface. Additionally, tire noise is also related to the material of the tire. The harder the tire material, the louder the tire noise.
