Angry Road Noise

I just bought and 08 civic ex sedan. I had alot of tire noise around 45, 65, and 70 mph. The dealer removed the Bridgestones and just put on some Michelins, and did an alignment. I still have the road noise. I don't remember this noise when I test drove 2 different civics. I'm a little disappointed right now @700 miles. Does this model car have an issue with road noise?

have you taken someone from the dealer to sit with you and have them hear the road noise? it should be obvious to them.

the road noise is not a normal experience of civics at least here.

I had a tech go for a ride. He told me that I wasn' t the first one to complain about the Bridgestones' road noise. I'm going to test drive another new civic. If there is road noise, I guess I just didn't hear it on my original test drive. If there is no noise, I need to get them to fix the problem. Thx for the info.
