They are probaboly twice as loud cabin noise wise than the cooper stt mud tires and safari roof rack on my discovery. Like I dont hear the exhaust on the highway. Ansa duals with oem midpipe. They sat for a while before I got (bought) them though too. Could that make a difference? Wear is pfetty much new.
yes they are that loud. and any imperfection in their wear makes em louder. as well as when they harden , or heat cycle.
XS are great lower priced grip tires when fresh.
Mine are at around 4/32 and they are still pretty quiet for a Higher grip tire...
That said, I'm super happy I went with these- I've run Hankoon RS2 and RS3, Star Spec, Azenis 215 and 615, and these are really one of the better sets- plus the price doesn't hurt as much! haha

Mine were loud from the start and they've gotten louder with age. But they were well worth all the grip. I won't be running them anymore though since I haven't been autoxing.
