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,

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.

dynamat is your friend.
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. |

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.

It was in my back-yard. There was an un-marked car lurking in my back-yard. No citations were issued. I did get a ricer fly-by from him with his lights on, though.
