Excessive road noise
I find my V60 quite noisy on a variety of road surfaces, some are terrible! I'd describe it as a speed-related drone.
I carry a fair bit of cargo around with me and use the load cover. Tyres are Pirellis. I'm not sure, but maybe the problem seems to be worse since I installed a spare wheel (and hence no longer have the large underflap compartmentalised moulding). It makes no difference to the noise if I brake, or when cornering; so I think it's unlikely to be a pad catching or a wheel bearing. And the droning is definitely coming from behind me. Anyone else also bothered by a similar problem?

Tyres maybe ? My Pirellis on the XC60 were noisy when they got down towards the wear markers.
Swapping to cross climates quietened it down as well as giving me a heap more grip.
