the 2009 model only has 6 speakers, and the two in the back are useless, blocked by the seats and overpowered with rear tire noise. the 2010 could be better, I think it has 8 spkrs. Best option is to just upgrade the sound system. The interior noise is what I consider very high, but it depends A LOT on the surface you are driving on. It's also possible that different tires could reduce the noise significantly.

I have driven the Z to ZdayZ, last weekend to W. Virginia and other long drives.

The noise level is nothing especially with my F.I. CBE which is music to my ears. :tup:

dynamat is your friend. :p

i was kinda amazed how quiet the cabin was with the windows rolled up. i usually drive with the driver side window down so... but ofcourse my kyoto muffler is pretty noisy with is nice dry tone. i can hear my stereo just fine.

Haha, I drove mine like that once. Took out all the foam from the spare tire area and the mats. I agree, it was LOUD!

So there is insulation of sorts, no?

If you consider the foam that holds the spare tire in place, then yes. But aside from that there's absolutely nothing.

Even I am beginning to get tired of the noise question. Check out the "Cabin Noise" thread in this section, it should answer most of your questions.

You'll need to test drive - a symphonic hall these Z's ain't, and if you're used to Lexus-quiet interiors, you'll be disappointed.

I'm a fan of all types of music (wife even got me into country), but trying to listen to classical music in the Z is not the best thing to do.

The 2 carpets are the insulation. There is a little bit around the plastic trim pieces but that is just to prevent vibration I believe.

Do you literally mean NO sound-deadening? None? I find that hard to belive, unless you were just being figurative/meaning very little. The car wasn't that loud when I took it on the highway. In my back yard, I got it up to 110 and it was comfy, solid, and quiet as any sports car I have ever been in.

Resonance chamber? moreso than any other smaller/sporty car? Again, I did not notice anything bad, but I didn't drive/ride more than about 15 miles all-togather in the 370's.

Not arguing, just wanting to clarify as your opinion seems a little more polarizing than my experience.

I see you have a '10 Z listed in your profile/SN box. What did you trade for, or do you still ahve it and just not like the noise you experience?

Was this a test drive of a new 370Z at a dealership ? and the let you get up to 110 ? wow.......forget the break in lol

I have test driven a few different cars and had several of them over 100 on the highway during the test drive - 370z, bmw 335is, lexus 350is, GT 5.0

I actually got pulled over on one test drive, but got off with a warning
