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. :wink:

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.
