How to reduce road/tire noise?

(1/5) > >>

Hi,

Of late, the road/tire noise seems to be louder.  Ride is almost 6 months old.  What can be the cause in the increase in noise level from road/tire noise?  Any recommendation to reduce the noise (-- other than increase music volume and put ear plug)?  Budget is a constraint.  Hence, cannot be too ex.

Thanks.

What I can think of -

1. Dun use performance tyres.

2. DIY sound proof on wheel arch by insulation spray. Done that for my previous ride, helps a bit.

3. Sound proof on base plateform and seat. Have not check if it is easy for latio.

My Toyo stock tyres are quiet.

Did you upgrade your tyres?

Insulation recommended by Vortex helps but the extra weight will result in higher fuel consumption.

No lah. I only use 4 cans of spray and less than 1 m3 of the insulation foam. I would say less than the weight of a pair of shoes.

Thanks, Bro.  Mine is the stock Toyo.  What is the brand of the DIY sound proof spray and how much is a can?  Where can I buy that? I think option 3 is not cheap.
