It'll be interesting to see how electrification of transport changes this. Here in Europe we're phasing out ICE at quite a rate and the proposed euro 7 standards are so strict that it will also alter what the car fleet looks like.

We live on a main road (although it's all relative, it's single lane in both directions and limited to 30mph) and i've already started noticing that the majority of what I hear is now tyre noise.

What do you mean by this? Got any links handy?

I believe it's a proposal at the moment, not totally sure the timeline:

And there's been plenty in the automotive press saying how it will negatively affect the car manufacturers, e.g:
