Abstract
A device for attenuating noise generated in a rolling tire and wheel assembly includes strips arranged as a circumferential ring in the tire/wheel cavity. The strips are spaced circumferentially to provide a profile of ridges and gaps in the ring. The rings may be placed on the interior surface of the tire or the wheel or both. Preferably, two rings are formed, and the gaps of the rings are in staggered relationship about the circumferential direction.
