The road noise could be from the tires, or possibly from the wheel bearings. With some brands of tires, the amount of road noise increases significantly when the tread is half-worn or more.

Place your foot on the brake with the engine in neutral and idling. Raise the rpm slightly over idle. Put the shift selector in drive, while maintaining pressure on the brake.

MAF sensor right around 70K miles, K40 Relay failed at 78K and I found and re-soldered the melted connection and it has been good ever since. one could simply buy a new one, for under $100 and replace it quite easily.
