Increased Wheel Noise?

So I recently installed the front M3 Upper and Lower Control arms. Had the vehicle alignment done. Running -1.1 degree of camber up front and -1.7 degrees in the back. I am still on my runflat winter tires but I definitely notice an increase in cabin noise from the tires. Is this because of the added negative front camber? Everything else is spot on and this is the only thing I can think of. It is not terrible but definitely more pronounced.

Thoughts?

harder bushing will allow more vibration and noise into the chassis.

^ Yes. Very slightly noticeable when I added the the M3 front parts to mine. It's the stiffer bushings.

Thanks. That is what i was thinking. Took out the UUC Transmission Mounts because of the same problem in how the stiffer bushings transfer noise.
