Have a serious echo or reverb in the car when anyone talks in it. The kids were in it a couple if weeks ago pressing every button going. Wrecking me head. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Puncture on driver side rear tyre, screw right in the middle so not near the sidewall.

Went to boyzone tryes today and a  repair not entertained, €180 for a new tyre after a quick glance at best. 

Would this be  normal? Tyre only 5 months old ffs Cry

No,
What size are the tyres etc...

I always ask them what tyres they have on special. They usually have good deals.

Doesnt sound right at all. Unless there is other damage but that should have been pointed out to you. Chancers Ted.

 Does a specific make of car perform best with a specific brand of tyre? Got my yoke serviced and he advised the rear tyres would need changing as they were fairly worn on the inside. So need a 4 wheel tracking and Camber adjustment. Thing is he said to go with the same brand etc as would have originally come on the car. Someone else said it to me before too. I always just thought the correct tyre size was perfect.

Your yoke being a hybrid would have a specially designed Tyres. Specifically for rolling resistance to improve fuel economy. So if you want to maximize economy & noise well then the original Tyres would be recommended. 
Personally I wouldn’t be bothered what Tyres go once they’re new. Just Don’t go second hand

I’d be happy enough with a mid range to lower level premium brand. Turanzas are probably top spec
