This is my opinion but I think when they repave the turnpike it will quiet down the noise considerably. The old pavement in our area is very rough and creates a lot of tire noise. When I drive it south towards the airport the tire noise is loud until the new blacktop starts and it gets significantly quieter.
I agree with you on the repaving. 470 is loud in Lake Denham and I did notice the paving there is very bad. Hopefully it gets redone soon.
