Noise Level
Tyre noise level refers to the sound generated by the interaction between the tread pattern and the road surface during driving. It is measured externally in decibels and displayed on the EU tyre label. Tyre noise is a significant factor in vehicle comfort and environmental regulations, with some urban areas introducing noise restrictions that affect tyre selection.
