Is the 370Z really THAT loud???

havasuwiley · 08-24-2009, 06:58 PM

road noise depends on the road conditions,smooth roads=little noise.engine is much quieter than my z06,

The engine and exhaust when stock is SILENT in this car!

My friend who owns a 335i always complains how loud the road noise is on the Z.

My modified 350Z road noise was similar to my 370Z. You can hear most pebbles hitting the rear wheel wells as in the 350Z. One can spray on Lizard skin (availabel at Eastwood) in the wheel well to reduce the road noise or turn up the volume in the radio.

I test drove it for about 30 mins, I thought it was great, no problem with the noise or anythinh else. I just want one!

I think it has very nice engine tone and exhaust growl...now, I'd be happy with more, but I'm not disappointed with the stock version.

Part of the road noise is solely related to the Bridgestones. If you lift a tire off the ground with a jack, rap on the tire tread with your knuckles. The things are like bongo drums.

I think 80% of all rod noise complaints come from little rocks hitting the rear wheel wells when they come off the sticky tires. simple fix with about 20 bucks worth or dynamat

just like the G37 is better in every way to the G35

can i get some examples of how the g37 is better than the g35?
I kind of view the g37 as "fat" compared to the g35

I have an '04 350 with a Nismo exhaust and test drove a 370 Nismo. I thought the 370 was much quieter on the road than the 350. The exhaust note on the 370 was also really muted.

My perception of the lower road noise on the 370 could be because my 350 needs an alignment.

I personally dun think it's that loud stock.
It's louder than the 350z but it sounds alot nicer imo.

BIG time since I added the RE-11's! I've cursed a few times at the sounds I've heard when I turn into my neighborhood.....always pebbles right when I first turn in!

Yeah, but BMW's are all about ride quality and sound dampening. That doesnt surprise me in the least (nor you, Im sure).
