Yup, happened to mine and was replaced with the new bolts. It was dead silent before the bushings. I'm obviously not infallible so there very well could be something up, but it's not noisy running on jack stands. It also completely changed when I switched tires, the michelins make more of a "tatatata" sound whereas the Contis make more of a "GrrRrrRrr" sound lol.

I thought I was crazy until I saw a few people like Harold @ HPA and AKG say these add a ton of NVH. I'd been investigating everything I could think of under the car at that point and all seemed good so once I found out that some others have had the same experience I chalked it up to just being the combination of these bushings on my particular car.

Oddly, I also got an increase in vibration and harshness which most others seem to say they did not, but those aren't significant. Just the noise.
