“Every time a tire rotates, the patch that adheres to the pavement, whatever surface that might be, sticks to it, then it has to peel off. Every time. It sticks and peels, it sticks and peels. And that peeling is the noise you hear.”

Misleading. Most of what you're hearing–wind noise, aside, which is non-trivial–is the tire tread deforming as it comes into contact with the road.

Race slicks are far sticker than treaded road tires, and are also much quieter, for a number of reasons.
