E500 Coupe Can worn subframe Bushes cause increased road noise?

My e500 Coupe in the last day has developed increased road noise. When the car was in for a service (in march) my indie (who I trust without question) advised that the nearside rear upper front arm bush & offside rear sub frame bush debonding and allowing some movement. It wasnt a massive issue but something to be aware of in the future that will need sorting.
So, my question is, would the deterioration of the bushes be the cause of this increased road noise? The car was pretty much silent unless under throttle so it is very much apparent when I hear it now. I am confident that the tyres are not to blame as these we replaced in the new year with the same make and model and have a few thousand miles tops on them.
