I think he has a valid point. I do notice that the Euro transmit a lot more gravel noise. I am not sure if getting mudflaps might help or not. Or is it these Dunlop tyres kicking up more gravel than usual. Maybe it's due to the side skirt being plastic and hollow (hence acting like a drum). Other cars don't have the skirt or have these "skirts" as steel, ie. Astra, Camry.
I hear it every time I get too close to the road gutter. Every bit of loose gravel seems to be getting kicked up. My parents' Camry and Merc doesn't do it, nor does my GF's Astra.
