Is it normal for an Expedition to have road noise? I drove a Chevy Astro before and it was much quieter. Is it a muffler problem or just because it's a bigger engine? Any help is appreciated.

A Chevy Astro is a mini van, and if it was not a utility van it was sound proofed somewhat.
An Expedition is a SUV. While sound proofed the bigger engine and tires will be a bit louder then the van. You didn't say if it is a 4X4 or two wheel drive. Some road noise can be quieted down by putting strictly street tires on it.

Most likely your tires are cupped IE uneven wear. The only way to get totally rid of the noise is to replace them. I've seen Expeditions with 15K where they are cupped, but plenty of tread depth.

It most likely the type of tire your using. You can buy new ones but like the other guy said it is a SUV, there like trucks. Road noise is not suppose to bother you. If the tires that are on it are CONTINENTALS then get rid of them!
