It's not about that, really. It's just that it's an opinion, not a fact. The Z may or may not be too noisy for you. It's subjective to the driver. I don't care what non-owners think. They need to drive the car on their own and form their opinions. I just don't like having words put in my mouth. It's no general consensus. It's an opinion.

i think if we can make the ride more comfortable, why not? Personally I wouldnt want to add too much weight to achieve this but if the car is a daily driver some might.
But i think M4A1Mustang is right about the amount of weight that would be needed to significantly reduce noise. |

A single plexiglass barrier between cabin/trunk area would eliminate alot and then just a lil sound deadening in the doors would probably do wonders. Issue is, how to make the glass barrier and cost for that. And then where to mount it without drilling etc. Also a removable one would be best IMO. Kinda like T-Tops! but for the inside... |

I am amazed at the emotional response to a suggestion on how we can put numbers around an issue that a lot of people share. For example, Consumers Reports, Car and Driver, Road and Track, Top Gear.... to name a few all cite the car as noisy. In my original post I didn't say that *I* find the car too noisy, just that if we apply the same kind of approach we use for engine, exhaust, brake mods (numbers!), we can help people who *want* to reduce noise find the best solution.
In answer to one of the adult posts, I suggest the phone be held next to the right ear of the driver. This would probably yield a reasonable baseline. That's it. |

What I was hoping we could do is get the difference in the same car of the noise level before and after sound treatment. With that data, members could compare solutions versus cost, etc. and decide what, if anything they want to do. |

Like I said, I found the rest of the post to be about providing helpful analysis. |

if you're really going to measure db, get a real SPL meter and a good one. phone + apps can vary over 15dB right off. 3dB is twice the sound level, not 10dB. then add the phone's pre-programmed audio software that calibrates max performance of that mic in that housing, add multi-array setup phones that actually CANCEL noise outside the polar pattern you got basically a super biased reading of your cabin. kinda like measuing horse power via your butt. |

Earplugs will work wonders, but I personally could care less about the noise.
