Seriously you are right. Its no fun driving a car that is so loud you cant carry on a pleasant conversation or listen to music like soft jazz or classical which needs a somewhat quiet environment. I think roads differ greatly and if you live in an area with smooth roads then the problem is not as bad.. but here there are many roads with a rough grade to provide traction during the snow and ice and while I would never drive on snow or ice, the road itself causes lots of vibrations and noise. I read one review in which the car was likened to a cement mixer, another said his ears bled and a third refused to take it on a long trip. Now of course these are exaggerations but lots of reviewers make the point and its interesting that sometimes you can see videos of reviewers talking as they drive the car and the background noise is awful. The good news is that unlike a problem with the basic design of the car or the engine or transmission, this problem is easily fixed. I think the key areas are hatch, doors ( which have NO sound dampening) and rear tire wells. Dynamat those areas and you get a whole new car which is truly a joy to drive!
