A lot of the freeways are concrete and patterned for grip or something. If it were up to me I'd change the frequency of the pattern so it played a tune as you drove over it.
US roads are terrible for causing alarming noises: they either squeal at the slightest provocation, make moaning noises, clunks like you’re going down a flight of shallow steps or do an excellent impersonation of a flapping tyre.
Every time I’ve been out there I’ve pulled over convinced a tyre has gone down only to find they’re all fine and it was just the concrete surface. I guess once you’re used to it you then discount failed tyre noises and get caught out.
Fortunately UK roads are usually quieter than that, though the M25 has some American style surfaces.

They actually did that somewhere like the groves on a record and it sounded good in the car but to people living near by it was just a racket
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
