I noticed that on some cars like the Ford Focus, they have something which looks like nylon carpet in the wheel arches on the OUTSIDE of the car. This seemed to make a big difference and I found the Focus had much less tyre noise than the Civic. For instance the civic is really loud if you drive over gravel, sandy or wet roads as you can hear each tiny stone hitting the wheel arch. The fact that this sound is so clear must mean that a lot of the tyre noise is coming in this way too.
Perhaps someone should try putting some nylon carpet on the wheelarches to see if this helps (I can't really try this on my lease car).
