Why are BF Goodrich All Terrain tires So Loud?

Why are BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires So Loud?
I have the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires but I test drove a Jeep with some much wider pro-comps seen below. I have to say, my BFG's are insanely loud.
I've heard some not so nice things about the pro-comp brand (such as being bolt on) but I have to say I really liked their tires a lot over my loud as F BFG's.
These are the procomps.
I also really liked these aftermarket fender flares if anybody knows who makes them
So why are the BFG's so loud?

My experience with the BFG T/A is that they are among the quietest all terrain tires.
What pressure do you use?
IMO, they are better than the Pro Comp.
As had already been said, try looking for other reasons.

they have that "wah wah wah wah" sound when you get up to higher speeds that you would normally hear on a giant monster truck.

I ride with the max tire pressure, they fill them all the way up when I get my oil changed. They have less than 10k on them, they are not cupped and they have always sounded really loud. I have them rotated every oil change. These are the mud terrains and not the all terrains. This is also my second set and the previous set sounded the same way. pictured below.

Mud Terrains are another story, they're all relatively loud.
I have no experience with the BFG Mud Terrains.
As for the pressure, the recommended psi is usually way too high. I'd use 30 psi, or, better still, check the optimal pressure by a chalk test.

BTW, I replaced a set of BFG AT's with a set of procomp all-terrains (the regular at's, before those xtremes were released) and had no issues with them. Similar trail performance, and a bit better onroad performance, especially through winter weather.
