The standard RE050A tyres are awful for road noise. Many people have commented that the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is a fantastic tyre AND has much less road noise. They will be my next tyre.

The other thing you can do for road noise is Dynamat the rear trunk area.

2018+ Z retuned the noise cancelling, it now does almost nothing. I test drove a 2017 Z that cancelled the bass frequencies very well but NC doesn't work with treble, and the remaining road noise was tinny and weird. On my 2018 I turned off the ANC, ASE and then fitted a quiet aftermarket exhaust (HKS Hi-Power, brilliant, ZERO drone, comes to life when you floor it). Perfection.

For the audio, just stream music from your phone. I use Musicloud app which supports FLAC (I also use headphones, FLAC is wasted in the car over Bluetooth though). Or use a USB flash drive in the centre console with a bunch of MP3s on it. Just bulk convert your FLAC to MP3 using ffmpeg command line tool.
