CR-V road noise
 

Anyone know of a way to insulate a CR-V to reduce road noise? Will undercoating help enough to warrant the cost? Earplugs? Thanks for any suggestions. Dick

You might consider different tires. Some are noisier than others.

Dick,

The CRV without a roof rack is a bit quieter, but tires are number one
source of noise, for sure. Undercoat would be nice to try, although I
think the manual says not to do it.

I have a 1997 CRV that I put 114,000 miles on. It is on its third set of
tires. As much as I love Michelin tires - recently I replaced the
Michelins with a set of Bridgestone Turanzo Tires on it and it is
noticeably quieter.

I got the tires and a nice set of alloy wheels on ebay - where some kid
just took them off a brand new 2004 Accord. Wheels and tires for $400!
Hond dealer told me they cost $2500! Check on ebay.
