What I find strange is that sometimes it is really loud, and other times it is not that bad at all... just wonder if it has to do with the environment. For example, the exhaust isn't as loud on the way to lunch. On the way back from lunch, it can get pretty loud (interior-wise). Overall, if you rev past 3k (even full throttle), the sound is sick and is nowhere near as loud when hovering around 2-3k.
I'd be interested in hearing how loud the 2-3k rpm drone really is. IMHO, this is the WORST range to have drone as you're sitting in this range while on the highway. If it's minor though, perhaps it's a non-issue. I'd ideally have no drone or drone in some range I rarely use like >6k rpm.
