Cool and welcom to the z community. I personally don't feel German interior holds up as well as Japanese. First day they look very pretty and give the wow factor but after some years when the lcds stop working and the textures on the plastic wear off it won't looks as good as the z's (that's just a personal opinion of having worked in the field on tons of German and then Japanese cars although not specifically BMW and Nissan).
Now as for your question on disabling the active noise canceling, is this a tech package car with navy screen? If so there is a hidden menu (I forget the key sequence but google and it will come up), if it is like the maxima then there is an option in the hidden menu to disable the active noise canceling.
