My wife bought a 2004 CRV. Lots of road noise....

Can this noise be cut down with some type of undercoating?

Are there tires a person could put on that are not as noisy or does the
harsh suspension just lend itself to this
phenomenon???

Could be crappy tires.

Maybe. There are some discussions about this in the CR-V group at
hondaSUV.com. The road noise and the tiny gas tank are my only major
complaints with my '06 CR-V.

I haven't tried changing the tires yet on the '06 (still too new). With my
'96 Odyssey which also had road noise issues, switching to Michelin X-One
tires cut down the noise substantially vs. the original tires.
