I've noticed that grooved pavement with the grooves going along the lane rather than across the lane is quieter. Of course TXDot uses the ones across the lanes.

Regarding the noise, as mentioned, the concrete is definitely the culprit. I hate them. My entire 76 mile round trip commute is on concrete (SRT-121-114), and the noise inside my car at my usual ~80 MPH is quite loud. Contrast that with, say, the Bush around Carrollton (which is good old asphalt), and the difference is huge.
There are some treatments that can be done to quiet the concrete roads themselves, but I don't know how much of that (if any) is being done around here.

Agree that trees are great, but they take too long to mature.

They need to just stop working on 75, I live at Eldorado and 75 - No More Work on 75, please

Ride your bike. They won't need to widen 75 any longer.

There are days when you really want to, at least Hwy 5 is open now, so that is an alternative route.
