I have a 2003 Z Touring. Issue is that since I purchased the car back in April it has had a humming noise when driving. It's like when you have very aggressive tires on a truck. Tires are Toyo Proxy 2's. They have good tread. Noise is starting to get to me!

The 350z coupe is comparable to a mini-station wagon; the rear tire well is inside the vehicle. This arrangement sends tire noise a directly to the car’s interior (i.e., tire/road noise is very significant in the 350z coupe).
Installing sound deadening or mounting tires that run more quietly reduces the road noise, but you’re still inside a “station-wagon.”
The fix is a G35/37 or a Z roadster. These cars have the rear tires inside the trunk, and they have less road noise.

Tires will make more noise as they wear down. This happens because there is less room for the noise to escape from underneath the tire. Irregular wear will amplify this.
