Default noise problem

I have a noise problem and i was wondering if anyone else had it
The noise is a roaring noise that changes with speed and slight vibration. it doesn't happens when the car is stopped.
I just got 4 new tires and the alignment helped a little, suspension is good they checked that. the car has 80K
this noise is driving me nuts

what type of tires did you get? The tread of the tires has to do with the noise youre hearing. A more aggressive treaded tire along with a thinner sidewall will transmit more roadnoise into your cabin then stock tires.

only real thing you can do is dynamat the floor, especially around the wheel area to quiet anything down. Or you can go the route of changing tires again to something with a little bit thicker sidewall and less aggressive tread pattern. But since you just bought tires i doubt you want to go that route.
