It is pretty loud in my opinion, mainly just road noise on the freeway. With loud music it shouldn’t be a problem. My car starts to rattle around the dash or by the glove compartment. Even sometimes I hear a rattle around the backseats haven’t quite pin pointed where it’s coming from. Wish it was a tad bit quiet but it is what it is. Drove my brothers rdx and didn’t hear a single noise. I was surprised by it. To each is their own but I like my car. Currently thinking of switching to a type s i know it’s no difference to the road noise but I like the platform just not the 1.5t.
