Yeah the car is a noisey one. It's quite similar in a porsche 911 actually, you hear most things that happen to the tyre and if you're going over rough road there's a hefty roar in the cabin. The lotus's are no different either.

If you want a nice driving but refined car BMW's your best bet. The 1 series coupe, 3 series couple and Z4 are significantly more refined that the 370z but still give you a beautiful balanced rwd feel. In the US i hear the G37 would fit the bill as well, (we don't get it here down under). But anyway the BMW costs more, so all a weigh up really...

What's good is that when you see a 370z driver you know they didn't just buy the car for the style, they're true driving enthusiasts to be able to put up with the rawness of the vehicle.
