Default Rough sound when driving

My GS300AWD sounds rough when driving - almost like I have snow tires on or something? Not the smooth quiet sound like the demo car I took home. I took a look at the tires and they appear to be fine, but it sounds noisy when driving.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything that I should check before bringing it back to the dealer?

Thanks all.

Have you checked the air pressure on the tires?

Do both cars have the same tires with the same wear. Some tires are noisier than others and some get noisier or quieter depending on wear and temperature.
