My car is too noisy on the motorway

We purchased a Honda CR-V 12 months ago. It is a nice car to drive, and we have had no issues. However, when the car is driven on a motorway the car becomes extremely noisy.

So much so that if you are sitting in the back you cannot hear the radio or have a conversation with someone in the front. Is there anything you can recommend we do or is it just a Honda CR-V problem?

Should not be the case. I ran one on 18-inch wheels and tyres for six months with no problems. if it's on 19-inch wheels and tyres, then that is the problem.
