2020 Malibu tire noise too loud

[f1slowpoke]

acquired mine just a few months back, everything else is great except for this loud noise that really is so hard not to notice and it bothers me a lot when driving, its got 18" wheels but still too loud. any advice on what to replace em or is there any modifications i can do? i just wanna minimize the noise.

What kind of noise do you mean? well, if you have the right tire and there's nothing wrong with other parts in the car, it shouldn't be loud at all, right? if the noise gets louder with speed, you probably need a wheel bearing, or if there are vibrations + loud noise, it means a bent wheel. you need to check it first

You maybe wanna consider adding sound-deadening material to the wheel wells, doors, and cabin floor because those might be the problem. Dynamat or Noico might have what you're looking for.

Seems like you need to change your tires. Look for tires designed for comfort and low noise. Tire companies often highlight low noise or quiet ride as features in their descriptions

Been seeing a lot of issues about this weird noise on forums. same as @Chergui88 i wonder how it it sounded like and when do you usually hear it

I agree that it could be your tires or wheel bearings. Quieter tires or some sound insulation might do the trick.
