Default intake not as loud after swapping winter tires

Not sure if its just me or something changed but when I first got the car, even the slightest pressure on the gas will generate a loud intake thump in the cabin. But after putting on my winter tires over the weekend. I can't get that nice intake sounds anymore, even flooring the car doesn't get it. Is something wrong?

I can only hear intake noise when the RPM is higher than 4.5k. it might be the something wrong with your intake noise generator and most likely your car still under warranty, why not just make an appointment, let dealership figure it out for you.

I wasn't sure if it was just a break in period or something, didn't want to look like a noob at the dealership complaining about it
