For a while now my car sounds like an airplane the faster I go. I just got new tires on the back. The front ones are fine. And got a wheel alignment. But it still sounds very loud while I am driving. It sounds like it is coming from the front. My brakes seem to be fine. The faster I go, the louder it gets. I guess the best way to describe it would be to say it sounds like I am driving on grooved pavement.

Hi there,

Did this start after getting the new tyres? If so go back to the tyre retailer and get them to go for a drive with you to listen and help with a diagnosis, start here.

No. I had this sound going on in my car way before I got the new tires. I just got the new tires this past Wednesday. I've had this sound in my car for about 3 or 4 months.
