Noise Reduction in the Z34 370Z car is now a primary focus for Nissan engineers. Due to rising complaints from internet-based communities such as the370z.com, Nissan engineers have put research and development of oil coolers and brake ducts on hold. They are focusing energy and resources on developing sound deadening technologies that they claim will make the cabin of the brand's aggressive two-seater sports car as quiet as the back seat of The Queen of England's Bentley limousine. Inside sources say that Nissan is partnering with acclaimed audio components manufacturer, Bose, to incorporate their patented noise-canceling technology into the Z car's on-board entertainment system. Also working on the project is Dynamic Control, the developer of Dynamat, the visco-elastic film that promotes vibro-acoustic energy conversion.
Other technologies in development include Nissan logo earplugs, discounts on Nissan's luxury-oriented Infinity G37 and cheese to go with that whine.

Dynamic Control

He's my hero. He is the DC in VDC.

After several meetings with the Bose audio engineers, Nissan engineers have decided that in order to bring the noise level down, they have decided to go all electric on their next 400Z generation which will be out in late 2012, which means the 370Z will be the last model that runs on fuel.

LunaZ: first, you have too much time on your hands. Those reading your post in Japan will laugh at the laziness of Americans as they drive their Leaf's around their fancy island.

Second, you have given others the impression that people from Pennsylvania have a sense of humor. As you know, the effing cold winters freeze our funny bones solid, leaving only seriousness and enjoyment of Amish outfits.

Finally, one should not joke about matters involving oil coolers. Just this morning when it was -5 my oil temps soared to almost 100 degrees, forcing me to pull over as I knew the dreaded limp mode was just a few hundred degrees away. As I tried to listen to the Bose cranked to MAX I dreamed some talanted upstart at Nissan would read our posts and send us oil coolers. Now we have only whine coolers.

OK, seriously, that was some funny doody!

I think you can get this in some aftermarket radios, or they at least compensate the sound tuning and volume based on ambient noise.
I know there are cars that come with a noise canceling radio though
