Quieter tyres?

Can anyone advise please? I've searched the forum and can't find any reference to Battlax A41 tyres being quite noisy. My '21 Scrambler's tyres (A41s) start to howl and scream from about 15 m.p.h. So loud that I thought something was wrong with the bike. A high pitch sound, very penetrating. Pressures OK, fitted correctly. Noise stopson very new smooth road surface, about 3% of my commute! Otherwise, these tyres are amazing.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Can anyone recommend a tyre based primarily on lack of screaming resonance?

Thanks... hopefully :)

TKC 70's from new on my 21 Scram..... no complaints from me... no noise, good milage, grip and ok looks.... the test linked to above does not reference.... noise, handling, tyre weight.... and from comments lots of users don't seem to get the same findings as the testers..... go figure.

That link is already a couple years old. TKC may be newer than that. I don't know. My favorites so far for the next set are Aussie made called Motoz. I'm eager to try them out.
Whilst an "Australian brand"..... from their web site: "Motoz tyres are made in Thailand in a privately owned factory that has been making motorcycle tyres for over 40 years".....

And.... both the 70 and 80s were in that "test".....
