Abstract:
A tire noise reduction device including at least one sound absorbing member of flexible polyurethane foam to be attached to an inner surface of a tire facing a cavity of the tire. The sound absorbing member includes a first sound absorbing layer placed on a tire inner surface side thereof and a second sound absorbing layer placed on a tire reverse inner surface side thereof, with the second sound absorbing layer being disposed on the first sound absorbing layer. The second sound absorbing layer has a density lower than that of the first sound absorbing layer. The second sound absorbing layer is of a thickness that is greater than or equal to that of the first sound absorbing layer. The second sound absorbing layer extends annularly in the tire circumferential direction, while the first sound absorbing layer includes a plurality of the sound absorbing members.
