Yes it is..depending on tyre choice, roac surface and speed..the volume varies..not easy to mitigate..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

As you may well know, sumotan, tyre noise is in dB on the label on a new tyre and on manufacturers' & sellers' websites. So, the difference between figures is exponential, not linear: in other words, it's a lot.
On used tyres, pressure, age (which for most makes should be less than 6 years), alignment, (wheel) size and other features play their parts, apparently.
In my experience, new, expensive tyres, that I want to be quiet, usually are.

My GY Assy i think 5's are nosier than earlier tyres. I think they made the inside of tread harder to last longer, which they seem to be doing. Considering the tread gaps are bigger than earlier tyres.
Tracking can also cause noises. I certainly hear the back tyres more than front, closer.

I think that’s more than enough excuse for a big celebratory drink that you can still hear tyre noise beit whatever volume at your vintage Ronk….

Waking up each morning is the best bonus!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.
