A few years back I picked up a bog standard Audi 1.9tdi from Munich airport and drove to Nuremburg , 100 miles in exactly I hour, torrential rain, and was still being overtaken by Audi A6s, Mercs etc doing vast speeds. |

Plus with a half full tank, there's noticeable fuel sloshing noises from the tank on braking. |

Just travelled 40 miles on the motorway, with the radio off and driving a set speeds of 50, 60, 70, 80 + mph. No hum/drone at any of the speeds and no change in the noise level, at any of these speeds.

I asked the dealer from where I've ordered my car and they have had no customers complaining of wheel noise on 22" wheels. |

Wheel alignment. Wishbone suspension alignments should be checked. |

Wonder what the fix will be, normally baffles inside the fuel tank which is often a difficult item to get at/replace. Makes you wonder how the car made it into production without that being noticed. Mark SVR in Estoril Blue |

I have also been affected by the droning noise. Just like most, it happens at certain speeds and with 22" rims. It just started making the noise a few weeks ago. I'm thinking it's to do with the tire wear, but it really sounds like it's coming from the engine. |

I have a similar problem, but noise at lower speeds, 30-40mph. I recently had my RRS service by dealer and they say it is tyre noise, which probably coincideswith me having two new General Grabber tyres on the front. Still annoying though as i keep thinking it is mechanical.

Just an update here, still doing it, although you do of get used to it. But shouldn't really have to in a high end car such as these!

Got an RRS HSE with 22's on order. This sounds a bit worrying........but not entirely consistent...?

I have done 7000 miles in my RRS SC with 22" wheels now (50% on M+S and 50% on winter tyres). The noise is still there on both sets of tyres. A bit less on the winter tyres as the general tyre noise suppresses the underlying humming.
