Hyundai, no matter how visually appealing they are making their cars, are still made with cheap parts.
Not sure how Id feel if my 2015-2016 vehicle had more interior vibrations and louder running engine than a car 10-11 years older than it and over 100k more miles.
Two sonatas and an elantra is where I got this experience from

Hyundai still gets lots of hate... But there are less and less haters every year.
I should know. I was one of them.
We bought the wife's Hyundai in 2011... A 2.0T Sonata. Close to 80k miles later and the car still drives like a dream. Only been to the dealership once in that time. Everything works. No weird rattles. No issues. Just basic maintenance. I use that car as my "work horse". I did complete basement renos using that car to haul everything LOL
Their interiors are of cheaper quality, but with each subsequent generation, they get better. Hyundai was smart and packed tech into their cars but opted for cheaper interior materials to be able to sell their cars at a lower price point. Those gaps are closing. They've already surpassed Honda/Acura in reliability and are nipping at their heals in terms of quality. Not there yet, but soon enough.
Stigmas die hard when it comes to any car. Hyundai knows this and is clearly pursuing a long term plan that seems to be panning out for them. I know a few others with kias and hyundais and none of them share the problems you mention.
Maybe the cars you are referring to were built on a Monday
