Decked out in some all-season 17-inch tires, the 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche is much quieter than it would be were it rolling on some meaty all-terrain rubber. We were pleasantly surprised to find that tire noise was minimal, and what there was had been largely prevented from reaching the cabin. The same went for wind and engine noise, though some of our editors wouldn’t have minded a bit more intrusion of the V8 rumble variety. With outside ruckus prevented from reaching the interior, our ears were able (or forced?) to focus on a few plastic creaks and rattles, most notably from the B-pillar just behind the driver’s head.
