The RE71s are very quiet- granted mine are new (~1000 miles on them) but
they're no louder than my RE930 all season tires were. Based on experience
with my friends' GLi 16v, they get louder with age, but never to the point
where they're annoying-- and that's a lot coming from me cause I want *QUIET*.

Ask Brett how quiet mine are... he was amazed.
