Tire road noise, louder then it should be

[Roadghost]

it's advisable to look at the most common root cause of this noise
to buying special tools based on a guess
most of us here are indicating a tire issue- as you had thought too @sburns

cupping- and I still prefer the term feathering, is something you should look at
can't see from the picture angle of your front if that's what's happening

what you need to look for is an unusual wear pattern
low spots on the tread next to high spots

my front is feathered and noisy - it's also pretty near miled out
carrying weight and sporty riding can cause this
besides the noise, it can be a bit of a hazard if you're pushing the front tire at speed

not sure if you can see this on the pic - my tires don't have much tread at all from new
but there are visible low areas adjacent to higher area, unusual wear - feathering

He's got feathering on his front tire for sure, you can see it in the pic.

Hey all I meant to do an update, then forgot, anyhow. Here are a couple of picture of the front and back tires. The day before I was doing some gravel, so it looks messy.

On recent rides, I believe most of the noise is coming from the front, which is due for a change. The rear I think has some noise not as much and mostly on curves. ?‍
