Bingo, it's largely the OEM tires. You'll see, er, hear when you make the transition from worn concrete to new asphalt at highway speeds, the background sound floor just drops away and the car seems eerily quiet.
There was a post recently about someone who isolated a wind noise source in his mirror mounts. If you're getting noise from that area, a little time and a little masking tape might be worth it for curiosity's sake.
Re. the stereo, check the archives or your OM for resetting the default volume. As delivered, the maximum volume is attenuated. There's no punch to the system unless you reset it a lot higher.
