Alpine do a DSP thingy that works in the same way as noise-cancelling headphones. Seem to remember it was around £500/£600 - but should be very good at geting rid of tyre noise.

Yes, I will be fitting an Alpine unit to the car. I know Max earlier was being flippant but it is the way Lexus etc keep noise down. Will look up the DSP

Tesla has been fitting their cars with tyres which contain a foam layer, as the lack of an ICE means tyre noise becomes one of the biggest sources.

I've read of some Tesla owners trying a DIY solution when they've had to change tyres, with some degree of success.

Might be worth looking into?
