Rotated my bfg's last week and haven't even turned on the radio. I love tire noise.

I've ran aggressive tires on trucks and my Jeep. Ive found that rotating every oil change keeps the wear pattern and noise controlled best. It may be little OCD but its always worked for me. I also make sure the spare is always in the rotation.

About 500 miles since my rotation and they're quieter now. Something was weird though. I'm wondering if not putting a hubcentric ring on caused it. Long story short, I rotate the spare in...Forgot that my spare doesn't have a hub ring. Whoops!

I like the hum but these were nutty with how loud they were.
