Nissan Maxima: 04 Max interior noise

I have an 04 Max SE that now has 1500 miles on it. (I traded an 01 Max GLE)
I really like the car...handles great, better gas milage than the 01, etc.
The only thing I really am finding annoying is the interior noise level. The
01 was a much quieter car.
I am thinking that the tires (Eagles) are the main source of the noise, as
it seems to change with road surfaces. The problem is that somehow that tire
noise transmits into the cabin very efficiently, and reverberates with this
hollow, tinny sound.
I was wondering if any one else has noticed this? Is this just a
characteristic of this model?
I plan to do to the dealer and test drive another car to see if it makes the
same noises.

2004 SE Max same noise, but I love the car.
