We live on a semi-main road. Normal engines aren’t really noticeable or annoying. Nearly all of the road noise is generated by tires with a fraction coming from large truck engines and vehicles with broken exhausts.

Tires are shockingly loud.

Smooth roads really help with this, but no one seems to care

Smooth roads come with grip problems - especially in the rain.
