Was wondering, What can it be?

Recently, When im driving my car, it sounds realli loud from the inside, Not the engine or nething like that, but the sound u hear when ur driving.. lol (argh, have no idea how to explain it) basically, from the inside of my car, it seems very loud. Maybe that be do to anything in particular such as springs? shocks?
hmm.. to picture this...

Picture yourself driving a high class mercedes, Ur cruising at like 30 mph, U will most likely hear nothing from the inside as if u wont even notice your car is moving if you close ur eyes.
Now picture yourself in a 1990 Toyota Corolla, u will most likely hear ur car cruising at 5 mph. lol i dont kno wat im talking bout,,

But for ppl who does kno.. Let me kno

Maybe some tire feathering? Are your tires pretty worn out?? Is your camber stock (lowered)? If not, you could be wearing the insides of the tires out a lot more and that could be causing the noise.

im starting to actually believe it is me shocks are going, because i have also notice that my car bounces of the bumps instead of absorbing it, someone told me to jack my car up and see if my tires hang or not to determine it but never got the chance, but if u r correct, i think its my shocks Anyone kno the avrg price on them? is it better to go back with oem or is there others better?


and its road/tire noise- Nothing in particular where if someone never sat in a tl would notice.. but since i drive it everyday, it tend to notice the diff lately

and no... im not lowered.... stock springs with stock shocks... i do live in NYC with 45k miles on my 2000. I do try to dodge the potholes/bumps but damn NYC
