I never checked them when they were new but is this the normal Rosso thread pattern?
check tire rack for pictures...

but yeah noisy tires.. had them on my f150 had to switch to bridgestone because vibration and flat spots problems

I think most brand tires on these cars are noisy. Obviously some a little more so than others, but all seem noisy to some extent. The contact patch as well as the lack of insulation provide for road noise from irregular concrete and bumps to be readily heard. Like was stated above, a louder exhaust and driving with the windows slightly down can help mute it.
